Beijing, June 12 (Xinhua-ANI): China supports Myanmar's efforts to safeguard domestic stablity and ethnic harmony, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday.

Liu Weimin made the remarks in response to a question on Myanmar's situation during a news briefing.

Reports say the situation in main towns in Myanmar's riot-hit Rakhine state were basically under control with security measures reinforced. However, there were still security concerns in some of villages a day after the government declared a state of emergency in Rakhine on Sunday night.

The Chinese embassy in Myanmar has issued a travel advisory requesting Chinese nationals and enterprises to take care in the affected areas, Liu said, adding that the embassy will also provide necessary assistance for Chinese nationals in Myanmar. (Xinhua-ANI)
