Professor (Myanmar Department), Yangon University of Foreign Languages, Dr. Wai Wai Myint said "Our Myanmar Language Department displayed the Myanmar traditional snacks including rice pudding, Mont Sein Paung and mote late pyar in Myanmar original style. We want the foreign guests to taste the Myanmar traditional snacks as the original taste. This event has the good intention for the students. Students need to improve their personal skills, not just education. It is a good result for students because they will have good personal skills such as leadership skill, cooperation, understanding and sympathy."

As Yangon University of Foreign Languages is a language learning university, the students get knowledge about the traditional culture at the time of learning the languages and as a result, it brings the good friendship and closeness between the countries.
