　　问：据报道，缅甸第三次“21世纪彬龙和平会议”将于7月11日举行。中方是否将派官员出席？ 

Hubei is the place where the Yangtze River civilization originated and gets passed on. In recent years, through fully leveraging its geographic advantage of being located along the Yangtze River which is known as the "golden waterway", Hubei has been making positive efforts to transform itself into a shining example of opening-up among all inland provinces, an engine for high-quality development in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and a crucial juncture connecting the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Belt and Road, thus laying out a blueprint for Hubei Province to march onto the world stage from its home along the Yangtze River. We believe that this promotion event will present a charming Yangtze River to the world and showcase a new Hubei, full of vitality, opening its arms to the outside world. We look forward to seeing your participation in and coverage on this event.

Q: It is reported that the third meeting of the 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference will be held in Myanmar on July 11. Will China send officials to attend the event?
