The two countries will enhance their friendly exchanges and cooperation in all areas, including parliaments, governments, political parties, militaries and law-enforcement departments and on governance matters, said the document.
"This will further enrich the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Myanmar," it said. The two countries established the comprehensive strategic partnership in 2011.
In the communique, China reiterated its respect for the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Myanmar and its support for the government of Myanmar in its efforts to maintain national unity and ethnic harmony.
"The two sides will continue to strengthen border management cooperation, and safeguard peace and stability in border areas," said the document.
China supports Myanmar in independently pursuing its domestic reform and choosing the development path in line with its national conditions under the premise of maintaining stability, said the communique.
During the talks, Myanmar reiterated its firm commitment to the one China policy and pledged to continue to support the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.
