Myanmar Foreign Minister to Visit China June 4-6, Beijing Says to Discuss Deeper Cooperation

China's Foreign Ministry announced on Monday that Myanmar's Foreign Minister Tin Maung Swe will pay an official visit to China from June 4 to 6. This is Swe's first visit to China since taking office and marks a reciprocal visit between the two foreign ministers within a short period. Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning made the announcement at a regular press briefing, stating that the visit demonstrates the political will and positive attitude of both sides to deepen the construction of a China-Myanmar community with a shared future. According to Chinese media outlet The Paper, Swe's visit is at the invitation of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. Mao noted that after the new Myanmar government took office, Wang Yi visited Myanmar at the end of April, where he had in-depth exchanges of views with the Myanmar side on developing friendly relations and promoting practical cooperation in various fields, reaching positive consensus. Mao said Swe's visit, his first to China as foreign minister, will realize reciprocal visits by the two foreign ministers in a short period, fully reflecting the political will and positive attitude of both sides to deepen the China-Myanmar community with a shared future. China looks forward to discussing with Myanmar cooperation within the framework of the Four Global Initiatives proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping in recent years: the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative, Global Civilization Initiative, and Global Governance Initiative, to achieve more practical results in building the China-Myanmar community with a shared future.
