Myanmar has been largely shunned by Western countries since its military overthrew an elected government led by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi.
BEIJING, China – China supports Myanmar in finding its own path to development and urges the international community to respect its sovereignty and help it achieve peace and reconciliation, China’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday, May 3.
Neighboring China, however, has maintained close ties with Myanmar’s generals and Foreign Minister Qin Gang, making a rare trip to Myanmar by a senior foreign official, met junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in Naypyitaw on Tuesday. China supported Myanmar in “advancing its political transition process and backs relevant parties…to properly address differences and seek national reconciliation under the constitutional and legal framework”, Qin said.
China is a major buyer of Myanmar’s resources, including jade, tin, and timber while it has occasionally had to take in refugees spilling across the border from fighting between insurgents and Myanmar government forces.
