At present, the Tatmadaw is assuming the State responsibilities by adopting five point roadmap and nine objectives and is determined to steadfastly exert efforts to achieve success in accordance with the future tasks and objectives. It is necessary for the Tatmadaw to make efforts physically and mentally as much as possible bason on the conviction that it is the guardian that strengthens the multi-party democracy system and restores various affairs of the State, Chairman of State Administration Council Commander in Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing urged officers, other ranks and families of the Triangle Region Command, Mongpyin Station, the Eastern Central Command and Kholan Station in his separate speech for them today.

First, the Senior General delivered a speech, saying that the local battalions in Mongypin Station have been performing duties in the region for a long time and it is necessary for them to be united with local residents. It is important for local battalions, departmental staff and local residents to cooperate for territorial control and stability of the region. It is found that there were weaknesses in cooperation and friendship with local residents due to the use of different languages in the region and transfers of commanders. At present, the Tatmadaw has been assuming State responsibilities due to current circumstances and those who have misunderstood the political leadership role of the Tatmadaw in national politics in successive eras and who cannot accept the declaration of the state of emergency by the Tatmadaw under the inevitable circumstances in accordance with the 2008 Constitution in the 2020 general election are making instigation to cause division between the Tatmadaw and the people.
Such accusations cannot be accepted as the Tatmadaw has been defending the country since it was formed and has been an prestigious institution that possesses fine traditions.
The people will support those who serve their interests. There are two types of organizing strategies such as pragmatic one and unpragmatic one. In the field of pragmatic organizing strategy, it is necessary to carry tasks for development of socioeconomic lives, education and health of the people.
At present, the Tatmadaw has been carrying out pragmatic development tasks of the people.
Since the performance of the duties of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, I have been carrying out agriculture and livestock breeding tasks owned by the Tatmadaw. And similarly, the needs for accommodations and food have been provided as much as possible.
The Tatmadaw has been involved in national politics throughout history by safeguarding the sovereignty of the State since regaining independence.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Tatamdaw to be able to overcome political manipulations.
Myanmar is a country located among populous countries and it is necessary for the Tatmadaw to possess high defence capabilities.
As the Tatmadaw is a strong institution that restored independence of the country and has performed duties for the perpetuation of stability and sovereignty, it is an institution that possesses fine traditions. Therefore, it is necessary to nurture the spirit of pride to be able to perform duties steadfastly in such an institution. As all members of the Tatmadaw joined it based on the love for the country and patriotism, it is necessary for them to perform duties based on such spirits. As fine traditions of the Tatmadaw of the past have been strengthened, it is necessary for personnels to pass the fine traditions and spirits to the future personnels. As the Tatmadaw is a family, the Senior General urged personnel and families to live unitedly based on the family and sibling spirit and extensively explained the vote irregularities in the 2020 elections, measures taken for socioeconomic development and peace process and action taken against the current violent acts in accordance with the law.
