76th Kachin State Day: Prime Minister sends message on January 10

Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing sent a message on the occasion of the 76th Anniversary of Kachin State Day falling on the 10th of January 2024.

In his message, the Senior General extended greetings to the people of Kachin State and all national brethren across the nation physical and mental well-being. As Kachin State has many natural resources, if development tasks can be undertaken based on these natural resources, national and ethnic people will have socioeconomic development and job opportunities.

The State Administration Council has been implementing a five-point roadmap and nine objectives. To achieve success in the implementation of national and political visions, as it is important for the enhancement of intelligence and knowledge of local ethnic people, a particular emphasis must be placed on the promotion of education.

Currently, the government is implementing plans to develop socioeconomic life, including agriculture, livestock, education, health, communications and electric power sectors for the development of Kachin State. It is necessary to follow NCA to ensure peace of the whole Union, which is essential for building a peaceful and prosperous nation.

In forging peace in the country, only when national brethren have to seek the solution in political dialogue based on the Union spirit, will they achieve success. The Senior General urged ethnic people, including national brethren from Kachin State to participate in peace and stability of the State, perpetual peace, prosperity of the State, food security, socioeconomic development and building a Union based on democracy and federalism.

It’s learnt that the 10th of January was designated as Kachin State Day in honour of forming the Kachin State government at the first Kachin State Council Conference held on the 10th of January 1948 in the post-independence period of Myanmar.
