China hails Myanmar's Panglong peace conference

Xinhua, September 1, 2016 Adjust font size:

The 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference in Myanmar could help advance the country's peace process, enhance mutual trust and understanding among related parties, and promote national reconciliation, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said Thursday.

Hua Chunying told a daily news briefing that China hoped the related parties in Myanmar could resolve their differences peacefully through political dialogue, reach a ceasefire at an early date, and create possible conditions for enduring peace.

The four-day Panglong Conference began in Myanmar's capital of Nay Pyi Taw on Wednesday, with the aim of securing a nationwide ceasefire by political means.

Hua said China supported all the efforts in Myanmar, and would play a constructive role in promoting peace talks among the related parties and work with Myanmar to safeguard border stability. Endi
