The Tatmadaw helped the Cocokyun region much for the improvement of the region’s socioeconomic life, Chairman of State Administration Council Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said.
He made this comment at the meeting with departmental personnel, locals and the town elders at the City Hall of Cocokyun Township in Yangon Region on 9 April.
The Senior General said he got to Cocokyun Township on April 8, 2012 for the first time and this has been the 19th time to get to the township. Now, he is happy to see that Cocokyun has developed many times compared to 11 years ago.
The Tatmdaw and the government have been providing assistance for the regional development as much as they can and the locals need to cooperate as well. Cocokyun is a region having difficulties in transport and communications and it was seen that there was no suitable development in the region. In the time of the political government, there was a weakness in unity and its development was slow and delayed, the Senior General said.
Natural scenery of the region is being developed for development of the region and coco trees are being planted as well. Coco trees grown in the regional naval headquarters in Cocokyun Township now will be fruitful within a few years’ time. This is not for the interests of the Tatmadaw but that for the locals in Cocokyun, he added.
The Senior General urged that there are departmental personnel who are the locals and those from outside the region as well. The local ones need to discharge duties for the interests of the Cocokyun region with the use of their experience and knowledge gained in the region and are to make good suggestions for the regional development. Sharing your knowledge is doing a good deed.
Afterwards, the Senior General and party enjoyed a traditional Thingyan water pouring event together with the departmental personnel in the township, town elders and locals welcoming the New Year.
