China Hosts Urgent Talks as Myanmar Ceasefire Holds

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi held separate meetings with the top diplomats from Cambodia and Thailand this week. The talks focused on maintaining stability in Southeast Asia following a fragile ceasefire in Myanmar. Minister Wang met with Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister Prak Sokhonn and Thailand's Vice Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow. All sides agreed that the current pause in fighting in Myanmar is a critical opportunity. The diplomats emphasized that all parties in Myanmar must stop violence and start meaningful dialogue. They warned that continued conflict threatens the security and development of the entire region. China plays a key role as a neighbor to Myanmar and a major regional power. These meetings show China leading diplomatic efforts to support the ceasefire. The goal is to push Myanmar's ruling military and opposing groups toward a lasting political solution.
