President welcomes Suu Kyi

Xi calls for improved cooperation between China and Myanmar

In a groundbreaking meeting, President Xi Jinping called on Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her party to help foster a better understanding of China and view cooperation in a fair and reasonable manner.

Xi made the comments on Thursday in Beijing when he met Myanmar's National League for Democracy chairwoman Suu Kyi, whose party is expected to perform strongly in elections later this year.
