BEIJING (Reuters) – Senior Chinese diplomat Wang Yi said on Thursday that China hoped the upcoming ASEAN summit on member Myanmar would pave the way for a \u201csoft landing\u201d.<\/p>

The in-person summit in Jakarta on Saturday is the first concerted international effort to ease the crisis in Myanmar, where security forces have killed hundreds of pro-democracy protesters since a Feb. 1 coup.<\/p>\n

The meeting is also a test for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), which traditionally refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of a member state, and operates by consensus.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Chinese side expects the meeting to lead to a good start towards helping realise a \u2018soft landing\u2019 for the Myanmar situation,\u201d said Wang, China\u2019s State Councillor and Foreign Minister.<\/p>\n

He was speaking with Thailand and Brunei\u2019s foreign ministers, the current and incoming ASEAN chairs, respectively.<\/p>\n

China is not a member of ASEAN, but is included in ASEAN Plus Three, along with Japan and South Korea. It was not immediately clear whether China will be attending Saturday\u2019s meeting in Jakarta.<\/p>\n

\u201cInappropriate intervention\u201d from outside the region should be avoided, a statement from the Chinese foreign ministry cited Wang as saying.<\/p>\n

\u201cPractice has proved that blindly exerting strong pressure by foreign forces will not help resolve a country\u2019s internal problems, but will bring turbulence or even deterioration to the situation, which will affect and destabilise the region,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n

The United States has been imposing punitive sanctions on Myanmar after the country\u2019s military coup. Washington has said it would take further action.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina calls on the international community to take an objective and fair attitude and do more to help ease the tension in Myanmar, rather than the opposite,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n

\u201cChina will maintain close communication with ASEAN, and continue to handle any work related to Myanmar in its own way.\u201d<\/p>\n
