On December 14, ** spokesperson Mao Ning held a regular press conference.
After the meeting, a reporter asked: According to reports, a spokesman for the Burmese army said that with the help of the Chinese side, Myanmar held meetings with the Kokang, De'ang, and Arakan armies. Can you confirm this and do you have any comment?
Source: **Mao Ning said that China has always firmly supported the peace process in northern Myanmar and has always provided support and facilitation for dialogue and engagement with relevant parties in Myanmar. Since the outbreak of the October 27 fighting in northern Myanmar, China has made unremitting efforts to promote talks between relevant parties in Myanmar to stop the fighting and promote de-escalation of the situation.
Mao Ning said: A few days ago, under the mediation and promotion of the Chinese side, the Burmese military and the Kokang, De'ang, and Arakan armies held peace talks in China and reached agreements on such matters as a temporary ceasefire and maintaining dialogue.
Mao Ning pointed out that at present, the conflict in northern Myanmar has dropped significantly, which is not only in the interests of all relevant parties in Myanmar, but also helps to maintain peace on the China-Myanmar border. China hopes that all relevant parties in Myanmar will step up the implementation of the agreements and consensus reached, exercise maximum restraint with each other, take the initiative to ease the situation on the ground, manage emergencies in a timely manner, and jointly promote a soft landing in northern Myanmar.
