The National Unity Government’s Position on China
1 January 2024
- The National Unity Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar adheres to an independent, active and non-aligned foreign policy with an aim to establish a federal democratic union that upholds people-centred values and standards.
- Myanmar regards the People’s Republic of China as a specifically important country, not only for close, profound historical ties between the two countries but also for China’s status as a global superpower.
- As Myanmar and China are neighbouring countries with a shared border spanning over two thousand kilometres, and bound to coexist as long as the Earth endures, Myanmar remains committed to fostering a genuine “Pauk-Phaw” relationship between the two countries and endeavours to be a good neighbour to China.
- The One China principle will be upheld and supported in a sustained manner.
- Valuing the people-to-people relationship between China and Myanmar, efforts will be made to foster mutual respect, trust and cooperation in the most effective manner.
- Endeavours will be made to promote and sustain cooperation grounded in shared socio-economic interests between the two countries.
- Aspiring to foster the interests of the people of the two countries, measures will be taken to safeguard Chinese economic investments and other socio-economic enterprises within Myanmar.
- Any organisation that poses a threat to the national security of neighbouring countries shall not be permitted to establish a presence within the territory of Myanmar.
- Myanmar remains committed to upholding its obligations under any treaties or agreements, including boundary treaties, signed between the two countries before the attempted military coup in 2021.
- Myanmar remains committed to engaging in close cooperation with China and other countries in the region to combat transnational crimes, including online scams and gambling, human trafficking and drug-related activities, which pose threats not only to the border stability of the two countries but also to the stability and security of the whole region.
