The Central Committee for Organizing the 78th Anniversary of Union Day 2025 held its first coordination meeting at the meeting hall of the Office of the State Administration Council in Nay Pyi Taw this afternoon, with an address by Chairman of the Central Committee SAC Vice Chairman Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win.
Also present at the meeting were Central Committee member Union ministers, the chairman of the management committee Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, NSPNS, chairs of the subcommittee deputy ministers, senior Tatmadaw officers and officials.
In his speech, the Vice-Senior General highlighted that it is the first meeting to hold the 78th Anniversary of Union Day 2025. The Union Day ceremony will be held in accord with five national objectives: to strive for the perpetual development of the Union through the Union spirit, patriotic values, a sublime state of mind and a genuine nationalist spirit; to encourage collaborative efforts among all ethnic nationals to pursue dialogue for durable peace and to end armed conflicts; to collectively advance cooperation amongst all national people, the government, and Tatmadaw to ensure stability and the rule of law; to enhance collaborative efforts to ensure nationwide stability and tranquillity, enabling the successful conduct of multiparty general elections; and to promote balanced development across all regions and states, as well as enhance health, education and job opportunities for ethnic nationals.
The celebration must focus on national unity and peace in line with the Our Three Main National Causes: non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity and perpetuation of sovereignty based on five national objectives of the celebration.
Moreover, as a special feature, during the 78th Anniversary of Union Day celebration in 2025, an MSME exhibition and various competitions will be organized.
The Union Day ceremony is a national-level event that is held annually. Due to the experience gained over the years, the relevant committees and subcommittees need to study the experiences of previous ceremonies, identify any shortcomings, weaknesses, and challenges, and work together to coordinate and prevent such issues from arising.
In connection with Union Day celebrations, there will be an exhibition of MSME products from all states and regions, including the Nay Pyi Taw Council
Area. The exhibition aims to promote the quality and development of production sectors through competition among products from various regions and states. Moreover, a major MSME product competition will be held, and traditional regional foods will be showcased in a variety of categories at a single venue, providing an opportunity for people to experience them in order to foster growth and improvement in these areas.
The Union Day ceremony is a national-level event, so special attention must be given to health and security, ensuring that everything is thoroughly and precisely checked and conducted.
In terms of security, it is necessary to take more stringent measures than previous ceremonies to prevent any negligence.
Although the subcommittees are carrying out their tasks, they are reminded to take care and ensure that no mistakes or negligence occur.
