Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC) Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing sent a message on the occasion of the 74th Chin National Day falling on the 20th of February 2022.
Through his message, the Senior General wished all the national brethren physical and mental well-being. After regaining Independence in 1948, a mass conference was held in Falam of Chin State on February 20 and it decided to change the administration system from the community leader (chieftain) ruling system to democracy.
The 7th Chin Traditional Council meeting held in Yangon on the 9th of October 1950 decided to designate the 20th of February as the Chin National Day. Chin National Day is a historic day for all the ethnic groups of Chin people who use a similar language and embrace the similar culture, historical tradition and custom.
Geographically, Chin State is formed by mountain ranges running from north to south and is also the place where natural resources like Khawnuson Mountain, which is the home to various species of fauna and flora, wonderful Reed Lake, Kaladan River, Manipur River, Bwenu River and Bontala Waterfall are located.
After annexing entire Myanmar in 1885, the colonialists adopted the rule that divided the hill regions and plains. Chin people sacrificed lots of blood, sweat, and property, struggling to free the country from colonial rule. The Senior General urged all the national brethren to join hands to build a democratic federal union.
The State Administration Council has been working on the social and economic development of the country as well as peace and nationwide ceasefire processes. Also, the Council has been establishing and upgrading more schools, repairing and building more educational buildings, appointing more teachers, accelerating the public healthcare services, working on electricity access and smooth transportation. The Senior General concluded his message, calling for cooperation on building a democratic federal union.
