Myanmar’s Suu Kyi says China to support peace talks

AFP, BEIJING: Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi expects China to support historic peace talks with armed groups near the countries’ troubled joint border, she said Friday during a landmark visit overshadowed by a stalled dam project. “We do believe that as a good neighbour China will do everything possible to promote our peace process,” Suu Kyi told reporters in Beijing ahead of meeting China’s President Xi Jinping.
“China, as a neighbour which shares a very important border along which there are many ethnic armed groups, is important in its goodwill,” she added. Myanmar will hold a long-planned conference with armed ethnic groups later this month, as Suu Kyi targets peace as a prelude to rebooting the economy after her party won a landslide election victory.
“If you ask me what my most important aim is for my country, that is to achieve peace and unity among the different peoples of our union,” Suu Kyi said.
