PREMIER Wen Jiabao reached broad agreement with Myanmar about maintaining stability in border regions during a visit yesterday that he said marked a new stage in ties.
Wen and Myanmar Prime Minister Thein Sein "reached a broad understanding on protecting the peace and stability of the border regions" and signed agreements that Wen said "signified another step forward in bilateral relations," Xinhua news agency reported.
"We are willing to deepen our friendship with Myanmar and expand cooperation, always acting as a good neighbor, good friend and good partner," Wen told Myanmar's prime minister.
The agreements signed in the two leaders' presence embraced areas including a natural gas pipeline, a hydro project and trade and finance.
China also offered more aid, Xinhua said, without giving details.
The deals were signed while Wen was in Myanmar's new capital of Naypyidaw, where he also had a meeting with Senior General Than Shwe, chairman of the State Peace and Development Council.
The two countries should strive to ensure that major energy and transport projects that China had underway in Myanmar were completed on time, Wen said.
In October, China's state energy group CNPC started building a crude-oil port in Myanmar, part of a pipeline project aimed at cutting out the long detour oil cargo ships taking through the congested and vulnerable Malacca Strait.
