Vice Chairman of China's Central Military Commission Xu Caihou wrapped up his four-day official goodwill visit to Myanmar and left Yangon Sunday.

During his trip in Nay Pyi Taw, Xu met with Myanmar President U Thein Sein and exchanged views with him on issues of common concern.

The two sides vowed to strengthen the friendly and cooperative ties between the two nations and make contribution to the development and stability of the regional countries.

Xu also met with speaker of the House of Parliament of Representative (Lower House) of Myanmar U Shwe Mann.

The two sides pledged to make joint efforts to consolidate the two countries' "paukphaw" (fraternal) friendship, further develop the cooperative and friendly ties and strengthen the multi-lateral cooperation in the international community.

In addition, Xu held talks with Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Defense Service General Min Aung Hlaing with both sides, underlining that the exchange and cooperation between the two countries in various sectors continuously deepened and made rich achievements, and appreciating the development of the two countries' friendly and cooperative ties under the new situation.

Xu raised a three-point proposal for cooperation and development of the two armed forces which was agreed by Min Aung Hlaing, who hoped that the existing close relations and exchange should be maintained to well safeguard the peace and stability of the two countries and the region.

Xu arrived Nay Pyi Taw Thursday on an official goodwill visit to Myanmar at the invitation of General Min Aung Hlaing.
