Myanmar New Year greetings extended by Chairman of
the State Administration Council Prime Minister of the
Republic of the Union of Myanmar Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu
Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing on the occasion
of New Year in 1386 ME
I extend my heartfelt greet-ings to all people residing worldwide, including all national people of Myanmar, to be free from varieties of dangers and to physical and mental well-being on the occasion of Myanmar New Year's Day when it falls today. Now is the time for Myanmar people to wash bad deeds, behaviours and thoughts with the water in the Thingyan festival done in the old year for the resumption of performing good deeds in the New Year in line with the perception of Myanmar people.
Myanmar, our country, has overcome the difficulties and challenges we faced in the old year period. Likewise, our government has adopted a pledge to continue to overcome any challenges successfully through diligence, courage, and firm belief in the people in the New Year. Our State Administration Council sustains the implementation of the multiparty democratic system in accordance with the law as the entire people aspire to while striving to build a Union based on democracy and federalism.
Our government will emphasize the improvement of the socio-economic life of all citizens by utilizing resources, pro-per management and ways and means in addition to focusing on the development of the education and health sectors of the State. Mainly, I would like to request all citizens to cooperate with the government in the learning for all school-age chil-dren in the coming academic year.
Furthermore, I would like to urge all people from various manufacturing arenas to strive to boost the State economy.
Myanmar could achieve deve-lopment of the State economy to some extent amid a variety of difficulties and crises. I believe that if Myanmar had not faced these difficulties, including sanctions, the State economy would have achieved more remarkable progress.
Likewise, as peace and stability can contribute to development undertakings, our government is making utmost efforts to forge durable peace in the nation, not only for the shortterm period but for the terms of future generations. In the old year period, some persons with extreme selfishness committed instability of the region due to eagerness without farsighted-ness and external instigations. As Myanmar people have experienced pushing national
races of the Union into the miseries of one another, they all have to consider doing all things based on long-term interests. We all have to show off our solidarity by respond-
ing to instigation wedged into national brethren by external elements.
In accord with the Myanmar proverbs which go: "Unity is strength" and "Hardworking to achieve good result", I would like to extend my New Year greetings to all that all national races have to make collabora-tive efforts to ensure peace and stability of the nation to walk along the multiparty demo-cratic system in coming New Year by reviewing all events in the old year.
