President of the People’s Republic of China Mr Xi Jinping and Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing held talks on relations between the two countries and cooperation between the two armed forces at the Horizon Lake View Resort Hotel in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
During the talks, the Chinese President said it is the first visit of a Chinese president to Myanmar in a 19-year period and his first visit to the country in his capacity as the President. The visit to Myanmar which is his first foreign visit in 2020 reflects the strong bonds of Sino-Myanmar relations. Extra force should be applied in further strengthening fraternal relations between the two countries and the bilateral cooperation must be cemented to establish a community sharing weal and woe.
The Senior General in his discussions said Myanmar gained a lot of experiences during the nine years of political reforms, and there are also challenges. One of the important challenges is State stability. Serious attention is paid to peace as it is important. He continued to say that Myanmar appreciates and supports Chinese government’s solving of its internal problems in accord with the law and he reiterated Myanmar’s support for One-China Policy. The government of a country is much important for its peace and stability. Myanmar is also applying various means for maintaining peace and stability. Myanmar is an immediate neighbour and a close friend of China. So, China’s OBOR projects will be supportive for the peace process and bring development and happiness to Myanmar if they are implemented for the benefit of Myanmar. All the ethnic races should understand that peace process can be carried out only in accord with the law. I would like to request Your Excellency to urge them to understand this.
The Tatmadaw will make utmost efforts in lending a helping hand to the endeavours for establishing a bilateral community to overcome all challenges in weal and woe and serving the people’s interest, said the Senior General in his discussions, according to the news released by the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services.
