Wang Yi said that the Chinese side is willing to carry out the exchange of experience in national governance and development with the Myanmar government and all parties and factions, so as to help Myanmar achieve domestic political reconciliation and restart the process of democratic transformation.
The two sides should promote the construction of the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, strengthen cooperation in industrial parks, cross-border power grids, and interconnection, and implement major landmark projects.
