Chairman of State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing addresses senior officer instructors and senior officer trainees of National Defence College through video conferencing.
In his address, the Senior General said in the past, only senior military officers were chosen for the NDC course, but now, senior civilian officers are also allowed to attend the course. Lack of political, economic, administrative and defence outlooks in performances may cause setbacks for the country. The head of civil servants must take into account the four outlooks in serving duties.
In political affairs, the country’s history stands witness to the national sovereignty and precise area of territorial waters. Although the country has gained progress throughout the successive eras, it slowly left behind some other countries including certain neigh bourse. As regards the education sector, the country lagged in statistics and mechanical knowledge by having weaknesses in education. So, the country must take this shortage as a lesson and seek beneficial means for it.
Afterwards, the Senior General clarified Myanmar’s independence struggle launched after the colonialists had occupied it to grab its resources, the rivalry between socialism and capitalism during the pre-independence period and post-independence periods, an eruption of ethnic armed conflicts due to colonialists’ divide-and-rule administration
The Senior General then explained in detail preparations to strengthen the country’s road to multi-party democracy and to hold a free and fair election, the assumption of State duties by the SAC in accord with the 2008 Constitution because of the failure to solve the vote rigging issue of 2020 multi-party general election in accord with the law, SAC’s adoption and implementation of two political goals and two national goals, preparations to strengthen the country’s road to multi-party democracy and to hold a free and fair election, adoption and implementation of visions and objectives for national development for the country.
Also present at the meeting were SAC Vice-Chairman Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Commander-in-Chief (Army) Vice-Senior General Soe Win, Chief of the General Staff (Army, Navy and Air) General Maung Maung Aye, senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Army), the commandant of the college, senior officer instructors and senior officer trainees.
