I'm very pleased to meet you again. In October last year, we met in Gyeongju, ROK. That meeting went very well and opened a new chapter of improvement and positive momentum in China-Canada relations. This marks your first visit to China since assuming the office of prime minister. The sound and stable development of China-Canada relations serves the common interests of our two countries and contributes to global peace, stability, and development. I'm willing to work together with you to promote China-Canada relations onto a path of healthy, stable and sustainable development, with a sense of responsibility toward history, the people, and the world, to better benefit the people of both countries," Xi told Carney.
For his part, Carney said that the partnership between Canada and China will bring opportunities not only to the people of both countries, but also to the rest of the world.
"Thank you, President Xi, for your hospitality, for the warm welcome that's been extended to this delegation, and for the opportunity that our partnership brings to both our peoples and I would suggest as well to the world. Mr. President, together we can build on the best of what this relationship has been in the past to create a new one adapted to new global realities that will deliver stability, security and prosperity to our peoples on both sides of the Pacific," he said.

Myanmar's new President U Min Aung Hlaing met Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Chinese foreign minister, in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar's capital, on Saturday.
Noting that Myanmar consistently regards its relationship with China as the most important bilateral tie, U Min Aung Hlaing emphasized that Myanmar stays committed to the one-China principle and highly appreciates and actively supports the China-proposed four global initiatives.
The new Myanmar government expects to strengthen high-level exchanges with China, advance the construction of the Myanmar-China Economic Corridor, and work together to maintain border peace and stability, while continuously deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between the two countries, the president said.
Myanmar will never allow any activities that harm China's interests within its borders, and will continue to intensify its crackdown on online gambling and telecom fraud and take concrete measures to ensure the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions and projects in Myanmar, he added.
For his part, Wang stressed that China's policy toward Myanmar remains consistent. China firmly supports Myanmar in following a successful development path that suits its national conditions and is supported by its people; firmly supports Myanmar in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity; and firmly supports Myanmar in achieving national peace, reconciliation and social harmony, he said.
Wang also noted that building a China-Myanmar community with a shared future perfectly aligns with the development and revitalization needs of both countries and serves the fundamental interests of both peoples, urging both sides to unswervingly follow this path.
China is willing to cooperate with Myanmar to resolutely and thoroughly eradicate online gambling and telecom fraud, he noted. China will also support Myanmar's participation in more dialogue and cooperation mechanisms and the enhancement of its interaction with ASEAN, Wang added.
