Chinese President Xi Jinping said he will continue to assist Myanmar's peace efforts.
He said the above during his meeting with the SAC Chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing in Moscow, Russia, on May 9, 2025.
“China has always supported Myanmar’s development, sovereignty, and stability and will continue to assist Myanmar in its development and peace efforts.” said Xi Jinping.
Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman of the SAC, said that he thanked China for standing with Myanmar on regional and international fronts.
He said, “Myanmar is making preparations to successfully hold a multi-party democratic election by the end of this year, and is also planning to invite international observation teams during the election.”
The SAC Chairman then said that Myanmar supports China's efforts to build a community of shared future with neighboring countries and to lay down new foundations for cooperation with neighboring countries.
Fierce fighting is ongoing across Myanmar between ethnic armed organizations (EAOs)/the People's Defense Forces (PDF), and the Myanmar Tatmadaw.
During these clashes, the AA-TNLA-MNDAA jointly launched Operation 1027 in northern Shan State on October 27, 2023. During that operation, the AA-TNLA-MNDAA captured almost the entire northern region of Shan State and the Northeast Command.
On the other hand, in collaboration with the PDF, the KIA is fighting against the Myanmar Tatmadaw in Kachin State and Sagaing Region to capture towns. Therefore, China is trying to mediate between the KIA-AA-TNLA-MNDAA and the Myanmar Tatmadaw to negotiate peace.
Currently, a peace agreement has been reached between the MNDAA and the Myanmar Army, thanks to Chinese mediation, and talks are ongoing between the TNLA and the Myanmar Tatmadaw, and between the KIA and the Myanmar Tatmadaw.
