The chief of Myanmar's military government, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, has for the first time since seizing power four years ago met with President Xi Jinping of China, a top ally of his military government, state-run media in the Southeast Asian nation reported Saturday.
The Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported that Xi pledged to provide assistance for recovery after Myanmar’s devastating earthquake in March and aid in efforts to end the country’s civil war. The two leaders met Friday in Moscow on the sidelines of the commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II.
