Chinese FM calls for deepening China-Myanmar community with shared future

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Myanmar's Union Minister for Foreign Affairs U Than Swe in Anning, Yunnan Province, on Thursday.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said this year marks the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Myanmar, adding that both sides should take this opportunity to deepen the construction of a China-Myanmar community with a shared future and contribute to their respective development and rejuvenation.

He said China supports Myanmar in pursuing a development path that suits its national conditions and is supported by its people, and backs Myanmar in safeguarding its sovereignty, independence and national unity.

Wang expressed hope that Myanmar will earnestly ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions and projects in the country, further crack down on cross-border crimes, and maintain peace and stability along the China-Myanmar border.

U Than Swe, attending the tenth Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) Foreign Ministers' Meeting in China, said Myanmar firmly adheres to the one-China principle, supports China's three global initiatives, and thanked China for providing valuable support and assistance to Myanmar's economic and social development and post-disaster reconstruction.
