The State Administration Council held its meeting (4/2023) at the office of the SAC Chairman in Nay Pyi Taw with an address by SAC Chairman Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.
The Senior General urged: “We are moving forward now as much as we can. We must do it. So, if we are open and have no reason to suspect and clear of grudge, our path of goal will be achieved smoothly. For this, all are urged to work together.”
Regarding the preparations being made to mark the 8th anniversary of NCA, the Senior General said that the forthcoming October 15 will fall on marking the 8th anniversary of signing NCA. This must be done with the political essence. All the leaders of ethnic peoples have been invited as being within reach as possible as and foreign nations as well.
Some replied they would come and some said they would send their key representatives. Our ethnic peoples’ leaders need to prefer to attend the anniversary event as foreign nations have such a sort of outlook. In Particular, all of the groups who signed the NCA need to attend the event. If non-NCA groups want to have peace, they need to pave a way of peace by attending the anniversary event, he said.
Regarding the SAC members’ regional tours of duty, the Senior General said: “By doing so, I want to know the real situation in the region, and I want to know the true attitude of the public. I want to know the need for their mood. So, I told them to go only after they had had shares of responsibilities. That’s why we’ve learned more about the situation than ever.
Then, the joint secretary of the SAC reported to the Senior General on current anti-terrorist activities to restore stability of the country, measures taken to restore the rule of law, seizures of arms and ammunition from terrorists, emphasis placed on combating narcotic drugs, action taken against illegal trade and plans to take effective action against those who sell edible oil and commodities at higher prices above the set ones and officials who are involved in such activities while the secretary of the SAC reported to the Senior General on work done by the SAC and measures taken for coordination of reports from respective regions.
