China has always pursued a friendly policy towards Myanmar and the policy will not change, said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying on Monday.

Hua made the remarks when asked to comment on the future development of China-Myanmar relations at a routine press conference.

Myanmar's Union Election Commission released final results of the general election on Nov. 20 with the opposition National League for Democracy (NLD) securing 886 seats or 77.04 percent at three levels of the parliament.

Hua conveyed congratulations to the winner, saying that as a friendly neighbor, China sincerely hopes Myanmar can realize political stability, ethnic harmony and economic development.

China hopes that all political parties in Myanmar will maintain solidarity and make joint efforts to build their country, she said.

China will continue to cement traditional friendship and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with Myanmar, she said, adding that China supports Myanmar's efforts to realize stable development and improve people's well-being.

As the majority winning party, the NLD will hold the chairmanship of the lower house and upper house and also has the right to nominate two vice-presidential candidates, with the remaining one to be nominated by the non-elected military representatives.

The present term of the parliament and government will expire at the end of January and March 2016 respectively.

The next presidential election will take place in early February.
