Suu Kyi in Beijing to 鈥榚nhance relations鈥
Print Edition
MYANMAR opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi arrived in Beijing yesterday on her first visit to China with the aim of enhancing mutual understanding and promoting cooperation and friendly relations between the neighbors.
Suu Kyi, chairwoman of Myanmar’s National League for Democracy, will be in China until the weekend at the invitation of China’s Communist Party.
“This is an important party-to-party exchange for the CPC,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a press briefing in Beijing. “State and Party leaders will meet with the delegation.”
Party-to-party exchanges are “an important component” of China-Myanmar relations, he said, and China has maintained long-term friendly exchanges with all parties in Myanmar, including the NLD.
Wang Jiarui, head of the CPC Central Committee’s International Department, met Suu Kyi yesterday and they exchanged views on relations between the two parties.
She is also expected to meet President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang.
An official from Myanmar’s embassy in China said she would meet Xi today and would be staying at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
Suu Kyi resumed her political career after she was released from the house arrest on November 13, 2010, and became a parliamentarian by winning a by-election in April 2012.
She became a parliament member to the House of Representatives and chairwoman of the House’s Committee for Rule of Law and Tranquillity.
Her NLD party, established in September 1988 after the previous military’s takeover, regained legal party registration on January 5, 2012.
