Message of Greetings sent by the State Counsellor to the Shan New Year Celebrations



(19-11-2017)
1. I send good wishes to all Shan nationals, our brothers and sisters, as they celebrate the auspicious occasion of the 2112 Shan New Year celebrations, that they may be blessed with auspiciousness. I am honored and happy to have this opportunity to send this Message of Greetings.

2. New Year is a time when we look back and assess our efforts and experiences of the past year and it is also a time for us to renew our energies to obtain good blessings and hopes for the New Year.
3. As we celebrate the New Year, I wish to urge that all of you will sing and recite the Shan traditional songs and poems handed down throughout history by Shan nationals; as you revive and perform your traditional cultures, I hope that you would be able to work for the stability and prosperity of the Union from this Shan State where the seeds of unity among the highlands and the mainland were sown.
4. So that all the sons of daughters of this Union would be able to create and leave behind an environment where all the mistrusts and conflicts of many generations are eliminated forever and where we may enjoy the fruits of peace and leave behind as a good legacy a stable and united Democratic Federal Union, I wish to urge all of you to successfully march hand in hand with the Panglong Spirit, well-known in Myanmar’s history of Independence, and send this Message of Greetings for the New Year.
