The government of Myanmar officially apologised to China for a cross-border bombing attack which killed 5 Chinese nationals earlier this month.
Xinhua reported Myanmar’s Foreign Minister U Wunna Maung Lwin as saying, “on behalf of the Myanmar government and military, I officially apologise to China and express my deep sympathy to the families of the victims and the injured.”
The bombing raid in Myanmar’s northeast came as the Burmese government battled against ethnic Kokang militants. China had immediately summoned Myanmar's ambassador, Thit Linn Ohn, to complain about the bombing and warned of “decisive action” at the time.
Responding to the apology, China's Foreign Ministry said,
"The Myanmar side will go after and punish in accordance with the law those responsible, and will also strengthen internal controls to avoid such an incident happening again."
