Myanmar State Counselor meets CPC official

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

Noting that China and Myanmar have deep paukphaw (fraternal) friendship and development of China-Myanmar friendly ties conforms to the fundamental interest of the two countries, Song voiced support of Myanmar on its pursuit of its development path in accordance with its own country's status.

Song expressed willingness to render assistance for Myanmar's stability and development, hoping that the two countries' ruling parties would enhance exchange and cooperation to push the two countries' relations to better development.

Aung San Suu Kyi said the Myanmar side attaches high importance to the development of Myanmar-China ties, anticipating that her upcoming visit to China would further raise the level of the two countries' cooperation level.

She expressed the wishes of her National League for Democracy (NLD) to deepen exchange with the CPC and continuously strengthen the mutual trust and cooperation.

On Thursday, Song also met with leaders of the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) and the military.

Minister Song and his delegation arrived Nay Pyi Taw on Wednesday evening on a five-day goodwill visit to Myanmar. Enditem
