On June 8, 2010, Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi held talks with his visiting Myanmar counterpart U Nyan Win in Beijing.
Yang said that China and Myanmar are good neighbors, good friends and good partners. He hailed the growth of bilateral relations since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries 60 years ago. He said China hopes to work with Myanmar to inherit and carry forward the traditional friendship between the two countries and earnestly implement the important consensuses reached by both leaders and bilateral cooperative agreements in a bid to further expand and deepen cooperation in all areas and push bilateral ties to a new level.
U Nyan Win said the two countries are friendly neighbors and bilateral ties have developed smoothly on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence over the past 60 years. Myanmar appreciates China's disinterested help with Myanmar’s economic construction and is ready to make joint efforts with China to deepen bilateral pragmatic cooperation to bring greater benefit to the two peoples, he said. U Nyan Win also briefed Yang on the preparatory work for Myanmar's general elections.
