On March 29, 2025, Vice Foreign Minister Sun Weidong met with Ambassador of Myanmar to China Tin Maung Swe to deliver President Xi Jinping's message of condolence to Myanmar's leader Min Aung Hlaing over the earthquake in Myanmar.

Sun Weidong said, China and Myanmar are a community with a shared future through thick and thin. The strong earthquake in Myanmar yesterday caused heavy casualties and property losses, and the Chinese people feel deeply for Myanmar as it copes with the disaster. President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolence to Myanmar's leader Min Aung Hlaing, deeply mourning for the loss of lives in the earthquake and extending sincere sympathies to the bereaved families, the injured and the people in the disaster-hit areas. China is ready to provide Myanmar with the necessary assistance to support the people in the disaster-hit areas in overcoming the disaster at an early date. Sun also delivered a message of condolence from Premier Li Qiang to Min Aung Hlaing.

Sun Weidong said, after learning of the disaster in Myanmar, the Chinese government acted quickly and efficiently. Within 24 hours of the earthquake, it had sent three rescue teams to Myanmar and announced the provision of emergency humanitarian assistance. At this difficult moment, China and the people of Myanmar will stand firmly together and take concrete actions to demonstrate the profound connotation of the China-Myanmar community with a shared future.

Tin Maung Swe said, the strong earthquake has caused considerable damage to Myanmar, and the number of casualties continues to rise. A friend in need is a friend indeed. President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolence to Myanmar's leader, and China immediately extended a helping hand at Myanmar's most difficult time when it needed assistance the most. Chinese rescue forces were the first to enter Myanmar to assist in disaster relief, allowing the people of Myanmar to deeply feel the "pauk-phaw" friendship of their Chinese brothers. Tin Maung Swe expressed deep gratitude for this and said that the Myanmar side will always remember it. Myanmar will spare no effort in earthquake relief and protect the safety of Chinese citizens, enterprises and institutions in Myanmar.
