Chinese Special Envoy Mr. Deng Xijun stated that China strictly adheres to the policy of not interfering in Myanmar's internal affairs and opposes the interference of other countries in Myanmar's internal affairs.

He made the remark during his speech at the ceremony marking the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) held in Nay Pyi Taw on October 15, 2025.

Deng Xijun said, "An election is necessary for Myanmar's general election. China applies a policy of friendly relations with all the people of Myanmar and strictly adheres to the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries. Furthermore, I would like to say that we respect Myanmar's political traditions and oppose the situation where external forces interfere in Myanmar's internal affairs."

While the NCA anniversary ceremony was being held.

He mentioned that over the past 10 years, they have been committed to helping the Myanmar government end the wars and promote peace to maintain peace and stability within Myanmar.

Chinese Special Envoy Mr. Deng Xijun said that in recent years, China has helped the Myanmar Tatmadaw sign ceasefire agreements with the relevant Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) to facilitate negotiations.

He said, "On the one hand, China has worked to stabilize and improve the situation in the relevant border areas. I would like to say that I fully respect Myanmar's national sovereignty and am ready to continue playing a constructive role as a facilitator in the peace negotiations."

China is assisting the Myanmar Tatmadaw in ending the wars in northern Shan State, Myanmar, and regaining control of towns captured by armed groups.

With China's mediation, the Myanmar Tatmadaw regained Lashio town, which was occupied by the Kokang Army (MNDAA), and a bilateral ceasefire agreement was reached.

Subsequently, China is working to facilitate a meeting and negotiation between the Ta'ang Army (TNLA) and the Myanmar Tatmadaw to halt the fighting.
