The second national level public movement tree-planting ceremony for 2025 was held in the morning on August 19, at Mileposts 4/7 to 5/0 along the Minbu–Padan–Ann road, in the tropical zone (13 districts) designated for greening in Minbu Township, Minbu District, Magway Region.

The Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, attended the ceremony and led the planting of Neem sapling. First, the SSPC Chairman delivered a speech regarding the second national level monsoon public movement tree-planting ceremonies being held in 2025 across the 13 tropical zone districts.

He said that every year during the monsoon season, tree-planting ceremonies are personally led and trees planted; particularly in tropical regions where temperatures are becoming hotter, a second round of planting is being conducted.

At this day, seven species of trees with a total of 1,000 saplings will be planted collectively in the form of a public movement. The benefits of these plantings will be enjoyed by future generations, he emphasized, and this is indeed a good inheritance being left for them.

He added that today’s tree-planting ceremony is an auspicious occasion for the region, and expressed gratitude to all who participated. Afterward, the SSPC Chairman and his wife led the planting of Neem saplings at the designated places.

Then, the Secretary of the Commission, Joint Chief Executive General Ye Win Oo, Union Ministers, the Chief Minister of Magway Region, senior officials, and attendees also planted saplings simultaneously. Later, the SSPC Chairman observed and encouraged the attendees as they happily and enthusiastically planted the saplings during the second monsoon public movement tree-planting ceremony of 2025.
