Myanmar attaches great importance to relations with China, is committed to developing Myanmar-China friendship, firmly adheres to the one-China principle, and is willing to always be a friendly neighbor that China can trust. It looks forward to promoting the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" with China, strengthening cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, etc., and benefiting the people of both countries. Congratulations to Chinese athletes on their excellent performance in the Paris Olympics. Next year will mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Myanmar and China. The two sides can jointly hold celebrations to promote traditional friendship and promote greater development of bilateral relations. Thank China for its constructive role in promoting the peace talks in northern Myanmar, and look forward to China's continued support for Myanmar in maintaining domestic stability and achieving political reconciliation. Myanmar is also willing to continue to cooperate with China to jointly combat transnational crimes such as online gambling and fraud, and will never allow any behavior that undermines China's security and interests.

Wang Yi expressed that China and Myanmar are connected by mountains and rivers, and their fraternal friendship is profound. 70 years ago, the leaders of the older generation of the two countries jointly advocated the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, which were widely recognized by the international community and became the basic norms of international relations and the basic principles of international law. The friendship between China and Myanmar has withstood the test of history and international vicissitudes, and has always maintained a stable development momentum, and established the goal of building a community with a shared future between China and Myanmar. China's friendly policy towards Myanmar is oriented to the entire Myanmar people, adheres to the principle of non-interference in internal affairs, respects Myanmar's political traditions and the development path chosen by Myanmar in accordance with its national conditions. We appreciate Myanmar's adherence to the one-China principle and its firm support for China on issues concerning China's core interests.
