Xinhua, August 11, 2016 Adjust font size:

Visiting Minister of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Song Tao met with Myanmar State Counselor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi here Thursday.

The pair had discussions on promotion of bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries.

Song presented a lotus painting to Aung San Suu Kyi, saying that the state counselor likes flower and the lotus represents the precious flower for Buddhists in Myanmar, according to an official of the Chinese delegation.

On Thursday, Song also met with Chairman of the Legal Affairs and Special Cases Assessment Commission of Myanmar's Parliament U Shwe Mann, who was former speaker of the parliament.

Minister Song and his delegation arrived in Nay Pyi Taw on Wednesday evening on a five-day goodwill visit to Myanmar, during which Song will tour the Myanmar capital of Nay Pyi Taw and the former capital of Yangon and meet with government leadership as well as leaders of political parties. Endit
