State Administration Council Chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said that the Independence Day address openly informs the country and the world about the country’s history and future goals. So, all must take the address seriously.
The Senior General made this comment during the meeting with Union ministers, the Nay Pyi Taw Council chairman, chief ministers of regions and states, and chairmen of self-administered division and self-administered zones on 6 January.
Based on the experiences of the successive eras, the goal – firm establishment of genuine and disciplined multiparty democracy and setting up of a Union based on democracy and federalism – has been implemented, he said.
Multiparty democracy will be the country’s political system, and its administrative system will be a combination of democracy and federalism. It is an administrative system aspired by all the people of the country. Moreover, national prosperity and food sufficiency are set as the national goal, the Senior General added.
Federalism administration needs to fairly cover all managements including regionwide administration, judicial and legislative measures. All regions and states and self-administered regions have to enjoy equal terms of rights, the Senior General continued.
To do so, drawing the laws has been agreed in principle for all regions and states. All things must be done under the State Constitution, the Senior General said.
