Mentioning that bilateral ties have been strengthened in recent years, Xi said the two countries should deepen cooperation to benefit people of both sides.

The president spoke highly of military exchanges between the two countries, saying the two sides should make joint efforts to safeguard common interests and regional peace.

Myanmar pays high attention to the development of ties with China, General Min Aung Hlaing said, adding that Myanmar was dedicated to cooperation with China in all areas.

Myanmar is willing to work with China to deepen military cooperation and safeguard the peace and stability of the Myanmar-China border, he said.
