The Chinese Foreign Minister has disclosed to the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Gutererres that China supports the efforts of the Myanmar government to maintain its national security but opposes the recent violence towards Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine State.
Wang told Guterres at a meeting at the United Nations on Monday China "understands and supports" Myanmar's efforts to protect its security in Rakhine and hopes the "fire of war" can soon be extinguished, China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
China expresses sympathy with those who have fled into Bangladesh and will send humanitarian aid to Bangladesh, Wang said.
"China advocates Myanmar and Bangladesh resolving the problem via dialogue and consultation," the Foreign Ministry cited Wang as saying.
