Suu Kyi satisfied with China trip

"The NLD is working for the country. It's not working for itself only. Everything with this visit was OK. I'm satisfied with it," Suu Kyi told reporters on June 15, a day after her return.

"I will consider whether I should make a press conference about it. We will have a central committee meeting," she said.

MP Phyo Zayar Thaw, who was also on the visit, said it was a success.

Suu Kyi’s five-day visit was at the invitation of the Communist Party. She met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other leaders.

China was a key backer of Myanmar's former military government and gained more economic advantages than other countries.

Beijing has sought to improve relations with Myanmar's political parties and civil society organisations, including the NLD, while President Thein Sein's government has improved contacts with western countries.

NLD members have previously visited China at the invitation of the Communist Party.

Suu Kyi visited Beijing, Shanghai and Yunnan province, which shares a border with Myanmar. She met Liu Jiheng, the Communist Party secretary of Yunnan, in Kunming, the provincial capital, on Saturday, according to the Yunnan Daily.During the meeting, Suu Kyi said Yunnan's experience with economic development was a model worth bringing to Myanmar, according to the report, with Liu emphasising the shared ethnic populations across the two sides of the border.

"Aung San Suu Kyi's visit to China will strengthen ties between the two sides as well as mutual understanding between Chinese leaders and the renowned Myanmar political figure," said a commentary from the official Xinhua News Agency on Friday.
