Chinese President meets Aung San Suu Kyi

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with the Chairperson of Myanmar's National League for Democracy (NLD) Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday afternoon according to reports from Xinhua on 11 June.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, held the meeting with Suu Kyi at the Great Hall of the People.
She also met with Wang Jiarui, a senior official of the Communist Party of China (CPC), on Wednesday where they exchanged views on relations between the two parties.
Wang is vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and head of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee.
It is Suu Kyi's first meeting with Chinese leaders in Beijing. She is on a five-day China trip from Wednesday to Sunday. She left Yangon for Beijing earlier Wednesday for her first visit to China at the invitation of the CPC.
China hopes this visit will strengthen communication and understanding between both sides and further their friendly cooperation in various fields, said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei earlier.
