On the afternoon of May 9, 2025 local time, President Xi Jinping met with Myanmar's leader Min Aung Hlaing in Moscow on the sidelines of the celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union.

Xi Jinping pointed out that China and Myanmar has established a community with a shared future featuring mutual assistance through thick and thin. The Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence and the Bandung Spirit jointly advocated by China and Myanmar have stood the test of time, with their relevance becoming increasingly prominent. This year marks the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. China pursues a policy of fostering an amicable, secure and prosperous neighborhood, follows the principle of amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness, and shares the same destiny with its neighbors. China will work with Myanmar to deepen the building of a community with a shared future, jointly advance high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, deliver on the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative, and bring more benefits to the people of the two countries. Not long ago, in the aftermath of the severe earthquake in Mandalay that caused significant casualties and property damage, China moved the fastest to send rescue teams and emergency humanitarian supplies and China will continue supporting Myanmar in reconstruction. China supports Myanmar in pursuing a development path suited to its national conditions, safeguarding sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity and national stability, and advancing its domestic political agenda in a prudent manner. Both sides should deepen strategic cooperation and continuously promote the construction of key projects in the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. It is hoped that the Myanmar side will earnestly ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions and projects in Myanmar and intensify efforts to crack down on cross-border crimes such as online gambling and telecom fraud. Both sides should jointly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its core and the international order based on international law, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries.

Min Aung Hlaing said that after Myanmar was hit by the earthquake, China promptly expressed sincere condolences to the Myanmar side, was among the first to provide assistance to Myanmar and supported Myanmar in its disaster relief efforts. This demonstrated the pauk-phaw friendship and true friendship in times of hardship towards Myanmar, which the Myanmar people will always remember. Under the visionary leadership of President Xi Jinping, remarkable achievements have been made in Chinese modernization. Myanmar attaches great importance to its relations with China and is willing to always be a friendly neighbor worthy of China's trust. The Myanmar side is committed to promoting cooperation between the two countries in economic, trade, energy and other fields, and will spare no effort to ensure the safety of Chinese projects and personnel in Myanmar. The Myanmar side highly appreciates the three major global initiatives proposed by China and the vision of building a community with a shared future with neighboring countries, and is ready to join hands with China to address common challenges.
