China promises to shore up border as foreign minister’s trip ends
Foreign Minister Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has ended her five-day trip to China, returning to Yangon on August 21st. The visit, which came after an invitation from China’s Premier Li Keqiang, was Daw Aung San Suu Kyi’s first major overseas trip since the National League for Democracy government took office in March. China and Myanmar reached an agreement to work toward close coordination on worldwide issues concerning climate change, natural disasters and communicable diseases, according to a statement from the President’s Office. “As a good neighbour, China will do everything possible to promote our peace process,” Daw Aung San Suu Kyi was quoted by AFP as telling reporters in Beijing.
