China and Myanmar agreed on Monday to work together to ensure stability along their border, state media said, after violence erupted on the Myanmar side in August that pushed thousands of refugees into China, according to Reuters. "China and Myanmar should make efforts together to strengthen exchanges and cooperation, as well as safeguard stability on the border areas for the sake of the fundamental interests of the two peoples," Xinhua news agency quoted Chinese Vice-Premier Li Keqiang as telling a visiting Myanmar minister. Li added that China "would keep supporting Myanmar"s economic construction and sustainable development". --SP
