1. The Union Minister for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Unity Government, Daw Zin Mar Aung, stated in an interview in January that there is no concern about China's policy position. Since all of the countries are making an attempt to balance world politics. Previously, some have criticized the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of NUG for being too close to Western countries and having less relations with neighboring countries, including India, Thailand, and ASEAN. And now they believe that by releasing such a policy on China's position, we will be alienated from other countries. We, the NUG government, have practiced diplomatic communication with all of the countries in a balanced manner, so there is no need to worry. The National Unity Government officially issued its 10-point position on China on January 1, 2024. Maintaining and protecting the security of China's economic investments and other socio-economic enterprises in Myanmar while striving to promote the interests of the people of the two countries was one of the statements among them.
