Government Meeting: SAC Chairman Addressed The Government Meeting

The Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister of the Provisional Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar Senior General Min Aung Hlaing stressed the need to overcome the challenges of COVID-19 and ensure political stability for improvement of the State economy, at the Meeting No 2/2021 of the Provisional Government at the Office of the State Administration Council Chairman in Nay Pyi Taw Tuesday afternoon.

In his opening address, the Senior General pointed out that the government has been discharging the duty for seven months amid internal and external difficulties, the government’s striving for ensuring political stability while overcoming the challenges in the third wave of COVID-19, the situation of the infection rate of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country and the neighboring ASEAN countries, the government’s endeavors for a half down of infection.

The Senior General urged Union ministers and region/state chief ministers to place special emphasis on supervising the tasks and elaborated that the main drive of a country is political, economic and defence might.

And he urged the Management not to delay the import of vaccines and medicines for COVID-19 and other necessary drugs, to systematically carry out agriculture and livestock farms as many agro-based countries are striving for ensuring smooth food supplies and earning incomes, Chief Ministers of regions and states to supervise the cultivation of paddy in their respective areas and to ensure edible oil sufficiency.

The Senior General noted that more than 2.1 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been injected for the first time and over 2.6 million for the second time. A total of 10 million units of anti-COVID-19 vaccines will arrive in Myanmar in the coming October and four more million in November.

Arrangements are being made to purchase more vaccines and the arrangements are being made to vaccinate the people from ethnic armed organization areas in addition to those from Rakhine State. Such a move does not depend on political trends but the national cause without ism and personal cult.

It is an effort to enable all the people to participate in the endeavours of State prosperity. Myanmar is a sovereign nation. Some persons and organizations turn a blind eye to the country for its international relations in line with the State prestige. Officials from regions and states sharing borders with foreign countries need to do anything in line with the international charters and agreements in border relations with the prestige and integrity of the State.

It is necessary to avoid the acts of discredit the State prestige and integrity. All officials need to improve the respective sectors for the uplift of the State integrity. The State budget must be spent on actually beneficial projects but reduced on unnecessary measures through thrifty ways.
