Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has discussed with officials in Yunnan province plans to protect local Chinese and their properties.

The meeting came after a bomb dropped by a Myanmar plane killed five and injured eight others in Lincang city last week.

They studied ways to safeguard border peace, protect life and property safety for local Chinese, and overall bilateral ties, Yunnan Daily reported on Tuesday.

The conflict in north Myanmar's Kokang region has lasted for more than a month, severely impacting the border region's peace and stability.

China has urged the conflicting parties to "take China's concerns seriously" and show restraint so as to restore order at the border.

The Chinese military says Chinese fighter jets patrolled the China-Myanmar border after the deadly bombing in order to "track, monitor, warn and chase away" Myanmar military planes flying close to the Chinese side.

Meanwhile, peace negotiators from the Myanmar government and ethnic armed groups, in their first day of resumed peace talks in Yangon on Tuesday, agreed to seek political ways for reducing conflict referring to the current fighting in Kokang region and Kachin state.

Participants agreed to learn from the current issues and prevent recurrence through understanding, according to a press conference held at the end of the first-day talks.
