Suu Kyi's China trip a boost for mutual understanding

Aung San Suu Kyi's visit to China will strengthen ties between the two sides as well as mutual understanding between Chinese leaders and the renowned Myanmar political figure.


As chair of Myanmar's National League for Democracy (NDL), Suu Kyi's first China trip, running from Wednesday to Sunday, came at the invitation of the Communist Party of China (CPC).


Besides inter-governmental relations, ties between the Communist Party of China and political parties of other countries are important in China's foreign policies.


During her visit, Suu Kyi has met with major political figures. Chinese President and general secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping proposed that the two sides continue to work together.


China-Myanmar relations have been strained at times in recent years, with several key cooperative projects, including a dam and a copper mine, being brought to a standstill.


May saw further discord between the two countries as Myanmar shells fell into southwest Yunnan Province, causing casualties and damage.


China places great focus on diplomacy in its border regions in a bid to build a favorable environment for its own development and that of the region.


Now that China is building the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, better ties with Myanmar will be mutually beneficial and they can form a key link in this grand project.


In June last year, Xi invited his Myanmar counterpart U Thein Sein to join the initiative.


Xi said he hoped the NDL can play a constructive role in guiding the Myanmar people's view on China-Myanmar cooperation in an unbiased and rational way.


Suu Kyi's understanding of China and the CPC will also be deepened by her visit.


China has made great achievements in economic and social progress, yet the country is sometimes viewed in a biased way due to its different ideologies and political system from some Western countries.


Xi couldn't have put it better when he told Suu Kyi, "I hope this visit will help deepen your understanding on China and the CPC, contributing to our mutual understanding and trust, and lay a better foundation for the party-to-party and state-to-state relationship."
