China is ready to work together with Myanmar to carry forward the pauk-phaw (fraternal) friendship and deepen comprehensive strategic cooperation, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday while holding talks with Myanmar's President Min Aung Hlaing in Beijing.
Hailing Min Aung Hlaing's long-term friendship with China, Xi expressed his willingness to join efforts with the president of Myanmar to produce more outcomes in building China-Myanmar community with a shared future.
"Mr. President has long maintained friendly relations with China. Last year, we met twice and had in-depth exchanges of views on issues of strategic and fundamental importance concerning China-Myanmar relations. I'm willing to work together with you to enhance the guidance to carry forward the pauk-phaw friendship, deepen comprehensive strategic cooperation, and deliver more results through the building of China-Myanmar community with a shared future, so as to bring more benefits to the two peoples and contribute more to regional peace and development," Xi said.
Min Aung Hlaing is paying a state visit to China from June 15 to 19.

This year's Summer Davos will be the largest yet, with more than 2,000 participants from over 90 countries and regions, the World Economic Forum said Tuesday at a pre-event press conference in Beijing.
Organizers unveiled the program for the Annual Meeting of the New Champions, set for June 23 to 25 in Dalian, northeast China's Liaoning Province.
Under the theme "Innovating at Scale," the Forum will bring together leaders from business, government, and academia. Against a rapidly shifting global landscape, policymakers and business leaders will discuss critical issues, from economic resilience and artificial intelligence(AI) to sustainable development.
Dalian Mayor Li Qiang said the city will use the forum as a strategic platform to raise its global profile.
"We expect this forum to drive a qualitative transformation for Dalian. Our hope is that scaled innovation becomes a new engine of urban development, helping spread new quality productive forces from small breakthroughs to broader impact. We also aim to leverage global wisdom gathered here to turn technological breakthroughs into large-scale industrial advantages, and push industries toward higher-end, smarter, and greener development. We expect this forum to act as a super connector, achieving precise aggregation and implementation of global high-end resources. For Dalian, this forum is not only a key window to connect with the world, but also a golden platform to attract investment and land projects," said Li.
