NAY PYI TAW -- Myanmar's State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi met with Chinese State Councilor and Defense Minister Wei Fenghe here on bilateral relations.

Wei said during the meeting on Friday that China and Myanmar as neighbors have long been witnessing a close friendly relationship.

In recent years, said the Chinese official, the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two sides has been further developed, under the guidance of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Myanmar's state counselor.
