Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>China\u2019s foreign ministry said on Monday that the Myanmar military and the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, MNDAA signed a formal ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n

According to the ministry, the ceasefire began on Saturday halting fighting near the border of both countries.<\/p>\n

During a regular news briefing, the ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said the two sides held talks in China\u2019s southwestern city of Kunming where they thanked Beijing for its efforts to promote peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cCooling down the situation in the north of Myanmar is in the common interest of all parties in Myanmar and all countries in the region, and contributes to the security, stability and development of the border areas between China and Myanmar,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Mao said China will continue to actively promote peace and dialogue and provide support and assistance to the peace process in northern Myanmar.<\/p>\n

The MNDAA is one of several ethnic minority armed groups fighting to repel the military from what they consider their territories.<\/p>\n

It is part of the so-called Three Brotherhood Alliance, with the Ta\u2019ang National Liberation Army and the Arakan Army that launched an offensive against the military junta in late October 2023 seizing swathes of territory near the border with China.<\/p>\n

The MNDAA, made up of ethnic Chinese, said in July 2024 that it had taken control of a major military base near the Chinese border.<\/p>\n

Analysts said China is worried about the advance of anti-junta forces which have pushed the military out of vital borderlands and started making inroads towards the central city of Mandalay.<\/p>\n

The military seized power from Myanmar\u2019s civilian government in February 2021, plunging the country into crisis.<\/p>\n
