BEIJING (Reuters) - China is confident it can resolve business disagreements with Myanmar through friendly talks, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said after meeting his counterpart Aung San Suu Kyi, amid pressure from China to resume a stalled $3.6-billion (2.54 billion pounds) dam project.

The talks with Wang in the Myanmar capital of Naypyitaw were Suu Kyi's first official meeting since her appointment as foreign minister.
