On April 25, 2026 local time, Myanmar’s new President Min Aung Hlaing met with Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Nay Pyi Taw.

Min Aung Hlaing asked Wang Yi to convey his best wishes to President Xi Jinping, and expressed heartfelt gratitude for President Xi Jinping’s prompt congratulations on his election and for sending a special envoy to attend the inauguration ceremony, as well as for China’s support for the economic development and post-earthquake reconstruction of Myanmar. Min Aung Hlaing stated that Myanmar consistently regards its relationship with China as the most important bilateral tie, stays committed to the one-China principle, and highly appreciates and actively supports the four global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping. The new Myanmar government expects to strengthen high-level exchanges with China, advance the construction of the Myanmar-China Economic Corridor, expand cooperation in various fields, including  energy, trade, and infrastructure, accelerate Myanmar’s development and revitalization, and work together to maintain border peace and stability, while continuously deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries to set a model for state-to-state relations, and build a Myanmar-China community with a shared future. Myanmar will never allow any actions that harm China’s interests within its borders, and will continue to intensify its crackdown on online gambling and telecom fraud and take concrete measures to ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions and projects in Myanmar.

Wang Yi conveyed President Xi Jinping’s cordial greetings to Min Aung Hlaing, stating that President Xi Jinping’s congratulatory message on His Excellency’s election as president and the dispatch of a special envoy to attend the inauguration ceremony fully demonstrate the high importance Chinese leaders attach to the development of China-Myanmar relations. China and Myanmar are close neighbors connected by mountains and rivers, sharing a deep “pauk-phaw” friendship. China’s policy toward Myanmar remains consistent and can be summarized as “three firm supports”: China firmly supports Myanmar in following a successful development path that suits its national conditions and is supported by its people; firmly supports Myanmar in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity; and firmly supports Myanmar in achieving national peace, reconciliation and social harmony. This year marks the first year of the new Myanmar government’s administration, and both sides should take it as an opportunity to carry forward the traditional friendship, open up new prospects for bilateral relations, and achieve new results in building the China-Myanmar community with a shared future.

Wang Yi stated that practice has proven that building a China-Myanmar community with a shared future perfectly aligns with the development and revitalization needs of both countries and serves the fundamental interests of both peoples, urging both sides to unswervingly follow this path. China supports the new Myanmar government’s five key priorities in governance, and is ready to maintain high-level exchanges with Myanmar, strengthen strategic coordination, advance bilateral cooperation centered on post-earthquake reconstruction, help Myanmar rebuild its economic system as soon as possible, and enhance its capacity for independent development. China is willing to cooperate with Myanmar to resolutely and thoroughly eradicate online gambling and telecom fraud. China will continue to speak up for Myanmar on multilateral platforms, and support Myanmar’s participation in more dialogue and cooperation mechanisms and the enhancement of its interaction with ASEAN.

During his visit to Myanmar, Wang Yi also held talks with Foreign Minister of Myanmar Tin Maung Swe. The two sides witnessed the exchange of the handover certificate for prefabricated houses donated by China and the memorandum of understanding on cooperation between the space authorities of the two countries.
