Myanmar, bordered by India and Bangladesh to its west, Thailand and Laos to its east and China to its north and northeast; it’s a new era for this extraordinary and complex land, Myanmar Cultural Day that organized by Hong Kong Macau and Myanmar Foundation (HKMMF) was held on 27 April at City University of Hong Kong for everyone to learn about the collective yet diverse cultures and traditions in one nation!

The event was well attended by over 50 people, including the representatives of Myanmar Consulate Office and Myanmar National Airlines, Myanmar students in Hong Kong, local students, and our partners and friends with various backgrounds. Programmes such as the sharing on Yangon’s untold stories, moving meditation & mindful listening, Myanmar traditional performance and Myanmar food tasting interested audiences and gathered Myanmar interested parties together, where networks and constructive conversation were built.
