Speaker of the Pyithu Hluttaw U Khin Yi received Ms Gwyn Lewis, United Nations Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator ad interim in Myanmar, at the hall of the Pyithu Hluttaw at the Hluttaw Complex in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning.
At the meeting, the Speaker said that Myanmar regained its
independence in 1948 and became a member of the United Nations. Concerning the
political history of the nation, Myanmar has been experiencing the impacts of
internal armed conflicts. Some crises were based on the voting fraud in the
2020 election, triggering the internal unrest. Consequently, a large number of
the population faced loss of life and property. Moreover, the country severely
suffered from the impacts of cyclone Mocha, Typhoon Yagi and the devastating
Mandalay earthquake within the past five-year period. Despite hardships, the
election was held in three phases successfully, starting in 2025.
Pyithu Hluttaw representatives elected by the people in the
election are taking responsibilities for the legislative, executive and
judicial pillars. The Pyithu Hluttaw primarily emphasizes the legislative
measures. The government has adopted the strategic plan to carry out the tasks
benefiting the people with momentum. The primary duties of the legislative
measures will help people live in peace under the legal protection, and amend
and supplement the existing laws and enact new ones in line with the current
day and system.
The government is constantly exposing and arresting telecom
fraud in cooperation with neighbouring and regional countries and international
organizations. Moreover, the Anti-Online Scam Bill has been drafted, and
upcoming Hluttaw sessions will prioritize the promulgation of the bill into
law. The Hluttaw carries out its tasks in coordination with the government to
address the requirements of the people. Hluttaw representatives represent the
people and send the wishes of the people to the government as a bridge. Hence,
the Speaker urged the UN Resident Coordinator/Humanitarian Coordinator ad
interim to cooperate with the Hluttaw in the humanitarian aid, national
development and rehabilitation measures.
The UN Resident Coordinator stated that efforts are underway
to ensure the safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to
temporarily displaced persons. She pledged to cooperate in carrying out
rehabilitation and reconstruction work for towns and villages damaged by
natural disasters. She added that efforts to eradicate narcotic drugs, promote
coffee cultivation as a substitute for poppy, and help seek markets for such
products would contribute to improvements in education, healthcare, and regional
development within the area.
She continued that the international community recognizes
Myanmar’s effective efforts in combating online fraud and suppressing narcotic
drugs, and that she would make every possible effort to further strengthen
relations with Myanmar. She added that cooperation would also be provided in
mine-clearance operations to enable temporarily displaced persons to return and
resettle in their native areas. She further stated that she would cooperate in
meeting Myanmar’s needs and in the country’s development activities.
Also, present at the meeting were Deputy Speaker of the
Pyithu Hluttaw U Maung Maung Ohn and officials of the Pyithu Hluttaw Office.
