More could be done to restore peace as invitation already extended for peace talks resumption: Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing – Eleven Myanmar

Chairman of the State Administration Council and Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing has expressed his belief that more could be done to restore internal peace as the invitation has been extended to peace talks for the resumption of new paces of peace.

He made the comment in his message of greetings to a ceremony to mark the 70th Anniversary of Kayah State Day that fell on January 15, state-run newspapers reported.

At present, the State Administration Council taking the State responsibilities in accord with the Constitution (2008) is implementing the five-point road map and nine political, economic and social objectives. It is very important to ensure peace and stability of the country and restore perpetual peace across the nation in order to secure success in implementation. Hence, as the invitation has been extended to the peace talks for the resumption of new paces of peace, he said he firmly believes that more cooperation could be achieved for the restoration of the internal peace for all ethnic national people. The government focuses on the interests of the State and the ethnic people and will continue further cooperation with the ethnic national people in unison to emphasize more peace and stability of the country with prosperity and food sufficiency. As unity will bring prosperity to the nation, all need to build the nation through united strength, the Senior General said.

He added that only when all public service personnel, all civil society organizations and the entire people together with the Tatmadaw (military) participate in the tasks to build the Union based on democracy and federalism in accord with the desire of all ethnic national people, will the country successfully reach the goal in a short time. Primarily, all ethnic national people need to have unity whereas the country is peaceful, stable and tranquil.

At present, it can be seen that incitement of some foreign countries, instigation of some organizations with different opinions turning a blind eye to the interests of the State and the people, fabricated news pulling down the State into the abyss of danger, persuasion of NUG, CRPH and PDF terrorist groups and their terror acts cause wrong thoughts and disintegration of unity among the people from some areas without peace, he pointed out.

He then stressed the need to consider that in consequence, it cannot bring the benefit to the State but it can only bring danger to the State and the people.

The Senior General also said in looking back the history, the country unavoidably accepted the independence together with events of internal insurgency based on impacts of the divide-and-rule policy of the colonialists, racism and isms as well as armed conflicts based on doubts among the ethnic nationals for many years. All have witnessed such consequential impacts on the peace, stability and development of the State.

Currently, the government is making relentless efforts for building the Union based on democracy and federalism all the ethnic national people aspire. That is why ethnic nationals from the Kayah State are to participate in the work process through the genuine Union spirit taking the lessons from the past events, he commented.
