Beijing: The actions of the international community must contribute to the political and social stability of Myanmar

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said today, Tuesday, that “all measures that the international community will take should contribute to political and social stability in Myanmar, to prevent an increase in tensions.”

The statement was made by a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Wang Wenbin, in response to a question about the Security Council meeting.

The Myanmar army seized power in a coup against the government of Aung San Suu Kyi, which was arrested along with other senior officials in the raids during the early hours of Monday morning, and announced the appointment of the army chief, Min Aung Helangen, as interim president.

Aung San Suu Kyi called on the people to reject and protest the military coup.

The coup sparked criticism and condemnation in a number of countries and international organizations, while other countries confined themselves to calling for the parties in Myanmar to show restraint and resolve differences by peaceful means.
