Govt Urged to Listen to Public

AS the country already possesses abundant aboveground and underground natural resources, people should have the ability and willingness to work. They must also actually put in the effort and work, stated President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar U Min Aung Hlaing at the Union government meeting at the President’s Office in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday afternoon.

At the meeting, the President stressed that Union Ministers, Chief Ministers of Regions and States, and officials at different levels are required to maintain good relations with their respective departmental staff and to ensure a fair and balanced style of governance.

He emphasized the importance of addressing both work-related and personal challenges faced by the staff and their families as much as possible. He underlined the need for efforts to resolve public issues, enabling people to live and earn their livelihoods in peace and comfort.

The President highlighted that understanding people’s needs and aspirations is essential for providing appropriate solutions; therefore, effective public relations must be upheld. He noted that while the government is obliged to implement policies based on its own priorities, it is also necessary not to disregard the will of the people.

He underscored that since needs and expectations vary across sectors and social groups, including education, health, and social affairs, it is important to ensure alignment between public demands and policy directions by consistently and correctly listening to public voices. Ultimately, efforts should be made to promote the socioeconomic development of the country and its citizens.

The President recounted that he paid State visits to India and China in early June and held meetings with businesspeople to increase foreign trade and investment in Myanmar. He emphasized that both internal and external investment can help create jobs and boost production.

He vowed that since employment opportunities are essential for people, the State will create and implement job opportunities. Furthermore, the President urged all to prioritize the development of the agriculture and livestock breeding sectors.

Regarding the upgrading of schools, he stated that it is necessary to carry out the work by calculating in relation to the proportion of school-age children in the area who can attend and receive education.

The President encouraged all meeting participants to support athletes who can bring honour to the State and take measures to ensure their longterm livelihood security.

In the electricity sector, the President pointed out that generating electricity from solar energy is the most suitable business for the country. Therefore, it is essential to invite local entrepreneurs to participate in solar power production. In addition, to ensure sufficient electricity supply for the country’s needs, efforts should also be made to construct coal-fired power plants capable of generating adequate electricity.

Union ministers and chief ministers of regions and states reported on necessary measures in their relevant sectors.

Also present at the meeting were Vice-Presidents U Nyo Saw and Nan Ni Ni Aye, Union ministers and the Nay Pyi Taw Council chairman, together with region and state chief ministers through videoconferencing.
