"Cyber fraud is a severe challenge facing all humanity. People who are driven by greed, who seek speculative gains by chance, or who have developed the bad habit of gambling are very likely to become involved in or take part in cyber fraud. In this regard, on the one hand, we need to raise their awareness and provide warning and education. On the other hand, we must rely on legal means to curb such activities. Myanmar and China should deepen law enforcement cooperation and crack down on illegal border crossings in accordance with the law. Countries around the world also need to formulate and improve related laws and regulations, combat telecom and online fraud, and carry out legal education among their own citizens. People inevitably have all kinds of desires, and it is very difficult to restrain them. This is a real test of one's character, so self-discipline is also needed. Of course, the most important thing is still to prohibit such behavior through laws and regulations. This requires countries to work together. Only in this way can telecom fraud be eradicated. Telecom fraud is one of the trickiest challenges and problems in the world, and it can only be solved through cooperation of all countries."

Myanmar President Min Aung Hlaing on Wednesday called on all countries in the world to work closely together to combat online gambling and telecom fraud, and described cybercrime as a growing threat to the people worldwide.

He made the call in an exclusive interview with the China Media Group in Beijing on Wednesday during a five-day state visit to China that concluded on Friday. The visit marked Min Aung Hlaing's 13th to China, and his first since assuming office as Myanmar president.

"Cyber fraud is a severe challenge facing all humanity. People who are driven by greed, who seek speculative gains by chance, or who have developed the bad habit of gambling are very likely to become involved in or take part in cyber fraud," said the president.

Min Aung Hlaing highlighted the need for preventative measures as well as stronger law enforcement.

"In this regard, on the one hand, we need to raise their awareness and provide warning and education. On the other hand, we must rely on legal means to curb such activities," he said.

Regarding cross-border crimes, he called for closer regional cooperation and urged countries worldwide to take concrete actions.

"Myanmar and China should deepen law enforcement cooperation and crack down on illegal border crossings in accordance with the law. Countries around the world also need to formulate and improve related laws and regulations, combat telecom and online fraud, and carry out legal education among their own citizens. People inevitably have all kinds of desires, and it is very difficult to restrain them. This is a real test of one's character, so self-discipline is also needed," he said.

"Of course, the most important thing is still to prohibit such behavior through laws and regulations. This requires countries to work together. Only in this way can telecom fraud be eradicated. Telecom fraud is one of the trickiest challenges and problems in the world, and it can only be solved through cooperation of all countries," said the president.
