A Chinese envoy to the United Nations has called on all parties in Myanmar to handle differences through dialogue and consultation, Xinhua reports.

“We hope that all parties in Myanmar will act in the fundamental and long-term interests of the country, properly handle differences through dialogue and consultation under the constitutional and legal framework, maintain political and social stability, peacefully solve problems that have occurred, and continue to promote the domestic democratic transformation process in an orderly manner,” Zhang Jun, China’s permanent representative to the United Nations, told an informal meeting of the UN General Assembly on the situation in Myanmar.

He said that under the current circumstances, all parties should maintain calm and restraint, refrain from intensifying tensions, escalating the situation and using violence, so as to prevent bloodshed.

Zhang Jun said that China is seeking to communicate with the various parties in Myanmar in order to deescalate the situation and return it to normalcy at an early date.
