As Myanmar pursues its national development, China will be its "most ideal and reliable partner" for cooperation, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday.

Wang made the remarks as he met with Myanmar's State Counselor and Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi in Vientiane, Laos.

Wang Yi delivered regards from Chinese leaders to Suu Kyi and said that China and Myanmar have been respecting, supporting and helping each other.

Wang noted that now a hundred days have passed since Myanmar had a new government and adopted new policies.

"Myanmar is in a sound environment for development and it is believed that Myanmar will make more achievements in its pursuit of national development. China will be Myanmar’s most ideal and reliable partner for cooperation during this process," Wang said.

China would like to enhance high-level exchanges, promote practical cooperation in various fields, support Myanmar in improving people’s livelihood, strengthening people-to-people exchanges, consolidate the public foundation for China-Myanmar friendship and inject new impetus to China-Myanmar relations in the new era, he added.

Suu Kyi asked Wang to convey her regards to Chinese leaders and said that for Myanmar, China is the largest neighbor with good wills, and people of the two countries are good neighbors and good friends.

Myanmar commends China in supporting and assisting Myanmar’s economic development and national reconciliation process, she said.

She added that Myanmar would like to work with China to further forge a positive and strong relationship and believes that the traditional friendship and friendly cooperation between the two countries will be passed on from generation to generation.
