China's public security minister, Wang Xiaohong, has held talks with Myanmar's junta on establishing peace along their shared border following clashes between ethnic armed groups and the military in Myanmar. The discussions focused on peace and tranquillity in the border areas, as well as cooperation on law enforcement and security. The clashes have reportedly led to the displacement of thousands of people, with some crossing into China. The fighting has taken place in Myanmar's northern Shan state, where a billion-dollar rail link is planned as part of China's Belt and Road global infrastructure project.
