BEIJING: Myanmar’s de facto leader Aung San Suu Kyi on Thursday met with China’s premier, discussing a stalled dam project and the prospect of building a bridge near the countries’ troubled joint-border.

Suu Kyi’s first major foreign trip since her administration took power in March showed “the Myanmar government and you yourself pay great attention to China-Myanmar ties”, Li Keqiang said at the start of talks in Beijing, adding: “China approves of this”.
