The Chinese Embassy in Myanmar on Saturday said China opposes external forces interfering in Myanmar's internal affairs and opposes any words and deeds that attempt to sow discord in China-Myanmar relations.

A spokesperson for the embassy made the remarks in response to recent groundless accusations by some media and individuals that China is interfering in Myanmar's internal affairs.

China firmly supports Myanmar in safeguarding independence, sovereignty, national unity and territorial integrity, insists on non-interference in internal affairs, and adheres to a peace process owned and led by the Myanmar people, the spokesperson said.

China's friendly policy towards Myanmar is for all the people of Myanmar, the spokesperson said, adding that China hopes that relevant parties in Myanmar will achieve a ceasefire and settle disputes in a peaceful manner, facilitating the stabilization and de-escalation of the situation in northern Myanmar and the country as a whole.
