Chairman of the State Adminis­tration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said so at the meeting of the SAC at the SAC Chair­man Office in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning.

During the visit to China to attend the GMS Summit and other summits in Kunming, the Senior General recounted that he held talks with Premier Mr Li Qiang of the People’s Republic of China, held talks with Politburo member of the Communist Party of China Secretary of Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Mr Yuan Jiajun and Central Committee member of CPC Secretary of Yunnan  Provincial Party Committee Mr Wang Ning and Prime Ministers from the GMS countries, respectively.

At the meetings, he explained the progress of Myanmar, the undertakings of the country, bilateral cooperation with the relevant countries, and the support of friendly countries to Myanmar in the international landscape. 

It was noted that Premier Mr Li Qiang of the People’s Re­public of China held a specific meeting with the Myanmar Prime Minister among other prime ministers bound for the GMS summit. At the meeting, the Senior General explained the progress of Myanmar wide­ly. At the meeting, important discussions of the Chinese Pre­mier were: China always sup­ports the endeavours of the My­anmar government in internal peace processes. China actively supports the implementation of the Five-Point Roadmap of the State Administration Council as well as encourages more efforts of Myanmar to initiate political stability of the country and po­litical reform process. China reaffirmed the sovereignty of Myanmar and its territorial integrity. China encourages the Myanmar government to manage China-Myanmar bor­der trade posts. China wishes harmonized development of Myanmar through cooperation. These talks are the clear stand­ing of China for Myanmar’s sov­ereignty and the endeavours of the Myanmar government. 

At the meeting, the Chinese Premier pledged to provide nec­essary aid for the election and enumeration of population and household census process. 

The Senior General re­counted that he held meetings with Politburo member of the Communist Party of China Sec­retary of Chongqing Municipal Party Committee Mr Yuan Ji­ajun and Central Committee member of CPC Secretary of Yunnan Provincial Party Com­mittee Mr Wang Ning. They also pledged to cooperate with My­anmar for development, peace and stability fully. These meet­ings brought positive results. It can be seen that their talks specifically emphasized Myan­mar affairs. 

At the separate meetings with Prime Ministers from four Southeast Asian countries at­tending the GMS summit, the Senior General continued to explain serving the State re­sponsibilities by the State Ad­ministration Council under the Constitution (2008) due to voting frauds in the 2020 mul­tiparty democratic general election, preparations to hold a free and fair multiparty dem­ocratic general election and plans to invite international observation teams to analyze the election as a transparent election. Those Prime Ministers held discussions supporting the Myanmar. The trip to China was successful as the Senior Gener­al could discuss the promotion of China-Myanmar economic cooperation and sending more scholarship students to China to ensure the development of human resources. 

The Senior General pledged that State responsibil­ities will be handed over under the democratic standards to the winning party in the free and fair multiparty democratic general election in accordance with the 2008 Constitution. 

He emphasized that the government is striving for se­curity measures. All measures are being taken in accord with the NCA as much as possible. The government, EAOs and political parties have agreed to continue their discussions at the Hluttaw. 

He noted that political parties are allowed to register under the law. Larger number of representatives of national races need to join the political platform in order to demand needs of regions and their na­tional races under the law. 

The Senior General stressed that a PR system is being initiated for state and regional, and Amyotha Hlut­taws for wider participation of national races and all strata of people in the Hluttaw. 

He underscored that those who committed voting fraud not only in relevant constituencies but in the whole region in the 2020 election. Bago Region saw the worst voting fraud in the election. As those unscrupulous persons committed voting fraud in the entire region or state, the voting fraud in the election worsened unprecedently. 

He pointed out that those who were responsible for the voting fraud were CEC mem­bers from the NLD party. They represented the party. As they committed voting fraud in groups, it is necessary to pre­vent the occurrence of such incidents. 

The Senior General ex­plained that those who create conflicts are the people from the relevant region and the country. In the same way, they also in­itiate the development, peace and stability of their own region. Hence, council members have to join hands with residents in lessening terror acts of armed groups from relevant regions to ensure peace and stability for the region and its residents. 

With regard to disasters, the Senior General highlight­ed that destructive acts of hu­mans caused tremandous loss and damage to roads, bridges, schools and buildings. Terror­ists without rationality naughtly destroy buildings, roads and bridges essential for the devel­opment of the State. As these losses and damage are being repaired and reconstructed, development undertakings of the State cannot be carried out.

The Senior General elab­orated on committing terror acts based on external insti­gations, lesser knowledge and techniques, and lack of critical thinking. It can be seen that terror acts and evil acts occur in the region where people have the least knowledge. Hence, the government is encouraging the education sector in order to shape a developed, peaceful and stable nation in the future. Only when individuals have a school education will they have critical thinking. 

The Senior General noted that it is necessary to strive to meet the target cultivation, en­hancing double crop cultivation and expanding sown acreage in order to develop the agriculture sector. 

He stressed the need to en­courage the operation of textile, electronic products, steel and iron industries to meet the do­mestic demands. 

Council members report­ed on the desire of IDPs from Loikaw to resettle in peaceful and stable Loikaw, clarification on the implementation of the Roadmap of the State to resi­dents on trips of council mem­bers, needs to seek the solution for EAOs to renounce armed terrorism in order to reach the peace track and rehabilitation of the people in the disaster-hit regions. 

The meeting was also attended by SAC Vice-Chair­man Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win, Secretary General Aung Lin Dwe, Joint Secretary General Ye Win Oo and council members and officials. — MNA/TTA
