Foreign Minister Qin Gang will visit Myanmar and India from May 2-5, Beijing said on Tuesday.
Qin visited the China-Myanmar border on Tuesday, calling for "friendship and cooperation" between the two countries.
China appointed a special envoy to Myanmar, Deng Xijun, in December, who has met junta chief Min Aung Hlaing at least twice since and has also met ethnic rebel leaders.
Qin's predecessor, Wang Yi, visited the country in July last year, meeting with his local counterpart but not with the junta chief.
After his Myanmar visit, Qin will travel to India for a meeting of Shanghai Cooperation Council foreign ministers, the Foreign Ministry said, without providing further details about his itinerary. (Reuters/AFP)
