Myanmar military, minority armed group agree ceasefire, China says.
BEIJING - The Myanmar military & the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) signed a formal agreement for a ceasefire began on Saturday, China's foreign ministry said, halting fighting near the border of both countries. The two sides held talks in China's southwestern city of Kunming where they thanked Beijing for its efforts to promote peace, ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said during a regular news briefing on Monday. "Cooling down the situation in the north of Myanmar is in the common interest of all parties in Myanmar and all countries in the region, and contributes to the security, stability and development of the border areas between China and Myanmar," she said.
China will continue to actively promote peace and dialogue and provide support and assistance to the peace process in northern Myanmar, Mao said. The MNDAA is one of several ethnic minority armed groups fighting to repel the military from what they consider their territories.
It's part of so-called Three Brotherhood Alliance, with Ta'ang National Liberation Army and the Arakan Army, that launched an offensive against military junta in late October 2023 seizing swathes of territory near the border with China. The MNDAA, made up of ethnic Chinese, said last July it had taken control of a major military base near the Chinese border.
