 December 2, 2017

Tatmadaw Commander-in-Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met with officers, troops and families of the Sittway cantonment in Sittway Cantonment Hall yesterday afternoon.

Western Command Brig-Gen Soe Tint Naing first explained security and stabilising works in Rakhine State, repair and new construction of the Myanmar-Bangladesh border fence and assistance provided for resettlement of ethnic nationals.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing then commented on the need to provide security systematically for local ethnic nationals, to acquire timely information on the movement of terrorists and to continuously conduct law enforcement and security measures.

The Senior General also commented on cooperating with Rakhine State government and administrative officials to create job opportunities for local ethnic nationals and for regional development.

In repatriating those who had fled to a neighbouring country, the Senior General said it is to be done according to the agreement between the two countries and the returnees need to be thoroughly assessed. The returnees also need to obey Myanmar’s existing laws while data and information about them need to be true and correct, the Senior General said.

The Senior General added that the Tatmadaw, police forces and departmental personnel should stand together with the people.
