Hey folks! 🌏 This week in Anning, Yunnan Province, the Chinese mainland Foreign Minister Wang Yi sat down with Myanmar’s Union Minister for Foreign Affairs U Than Swe as they marked the 75th anniversary of diplomatic ties. 🎉 It’s like celebrating an epic friendship milestone—think of it as two countries syncing their playlists for a long road trip.
Wang Yi, who’s also on the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stressed that it’s time to level up the China-Myanmar community with a shared future. In simple terms, both sides want to team up more on projects, support each other’s growth, and work toward common goals (hello, regional stability and prosperity!).
Key takeaways:
- Support for Myanmar’s own development path—tailor-made for its people and national conditions.
- Backing Myanmar’s sovereignty, independence, and unity—solid foundation for any partnership.
- Ensuring the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions, and projects in Myanmar—because border peace matters.
- Stepping up efforts to crack down on cross-border crimes and keep the border zone chill.
On his part, U Than Swe—who’s in the region for the 10th Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) Foreign Ministers’ Meeting—reaffirmed Myanmar’s commitment to the one-China principle and threw props to the Chinese mainland’s global initiatives. He also thanked the Chinese mainland for its support in Myanmar’s economic and social development, plus post-disaster rebuilding. 🙌
