BEIJING (XFN-ASIA) - The Chinese government said that it would support further international efforts to promote dialogue between Myanmar's ruling junta and its opposition, but insisted it was fundamentally an internal matter.The comments were Beijing's first reaction to the release yesterday of a statement by the 15 members of the UN Security Council including China, which 'strongly deplored' the junta's violent suppression of pro-democracy protests.'The Myanmar issue should be fundamentally and properly resolved with the efforts of Myanmar's government and people themselves and through consultation,' foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said in a statement released by the official Xinhua news agency.'China is ready to continue to actively promote the proper settlement of the Myanmar issue together with the international community.'Liu said the Security Council statement was aimed at supporting the mediation efforts of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and his special envoy to Myanmar, Ibrahim Gambari.It also aimed to 'provide constructive help to all concerned parties of Myanmar to realize reconciliation and promote democracy and development in Myanmar through dialogue.'AFP-xfnjanm/xfnjanmCOPYRIGHTCopyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2007.
