China vows backing as Myanmar decides

Beijing welcomes Myanmar's general election and will support the country's agenda to achieve national stability and long-term development, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Monday.

The remarks came as Myanmar opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy was expected to win the most parliamentary seats in the election, held on Sunday.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said, "China remains committed to offering help in Myanmar's election work, according to its needs."
