On April 25, 2026 local time, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held talks with Foreign Minister of Myanmar Tin Maung Swe in Nay Pyi Taw.

Wang Yi congratulated Tin Maung Swe on his appointment as Myanmar’s foreign minister, stating that his visit to Myanmar, coming just as the new government is formed and the country enters a new stage of development, fully demonstrates the high importance China attaches to the development of China-Myanmar relations. China is always a truly reliable good friend and partner of Myanmar. China stands ready to maintain high-level exchanges with Myanmar, deepen practical cooperation, support Myanmar in accelerating its development and revitalization, and advance new progress in building a shared-weal-and-woe China-Myanmar community with a shared future, so as to better benefit the Myanmar people.

Wang Yi stated that China firmly supports Myanmar in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security, and development interests. China is ready to strengthen strategic communication with Myanmar and conduct pragmatic cooperation centered on post-earthquake reconstruction. Both sides should enhance cooperation in electricity and oil and gas to jointly safeguard energy security; expand trade and investment to advance the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor; explore new areas of cooperation to help Myanmar enhance its capacity for independent development; deepen security cooperation to maintain peace and stability along the border; resolutely crack down on online gambling and telecom fraud to protect the lives and property of the people; and strengthen youth exchanges and training to consolidate the public opinion foundation for friendship between the two countries. China will continue to speak up for Myanmar on the international stage and closely coordinate with Myanmar under the frameworks of the UN, China-ASEAN cooperation, and the Lancang-Mekong Cooperation.

Tin Maung Swe stated that Myanmar and China are “pauk-phaw” friends and neighbors who jointly initiated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, setting a model for friendly interactions between nations. Myanmar reaffirms its firm commitment to the one-China principle, and is willing to remain a trustworthy and friendly neighbor to China, maintain close high-level exchanges, and accelerate the construction of projects under the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. Myanmar stands ready to deepen cooperation in various fields including talent training, infrastructure, railways, agriculture, and artificial intelligence, and work together with China to build a Myanmar-China community with a shared future. Myanmar will also make every effort to ensure the safety of Chinese projects and personnel in the country, and to work closely with China to resolutely combat online gambling and telecom fraud, so as to create a sound environment for bilateral cooperation. Myanmar fully supports the four major global initiatives proposed by President Xi Jinping and his important propositions on international affairs, and looks forward to receiving more support from China on multilateral platforms.
