Referring to recent unrest in Myanmar's Shan province, Jiang said: "We hope the situation will calm down as soon as possible and Myanmar border inhabitants who fled to 皇冠体育app can return to their homeland at an early date," Jiang said. She said some of those who had crossed the border into 皇冠体育app's Yunnan Province had already returned to their homes in Myanmar.

About 37,000 border inhabitants crossed the border into 皇冠体育app after armed conflict broke out last week in Myanmar.

Jiang said 皇冠体育app and Myanmar were friendly neighbors and 皇冠体育app hoped Myanmar would maintain peace and stability.

"Based on humanitarian principles, 皇冠体育app took active rescue and relief measures to help Myanmar border inhabitants settle down," Jiang said,

"We hope Myanmar can resolve its domestic issues and take all necessary measures to restore order and stability in the border area," she said.

The situation originated from a standoff on August 8 between Myanmar army troops stationed in Laukkai, the capital of the Kokang region, and ethnic minority forces in the area. Armed conflicts triggered a large outflow of border inhabitants into neighboring Yunnan Province's Nansan area.
