Remember National Victory Day to initiate future State

 

THE emergence of National Victory Day is based on fine traditions and a good history, showing patriotism and the nationalistic spirit of the entire national people. This historic and significant day marks the resistance against the colonial rulers’ oppressive education system designed to perpetuate their domination.

Colonialists exploited the nation’s valuable natural resources for their benefit and ruled oppressively. They deliberately prevented the Myanmar national races from accessing higher education and used various methods to hinder their ability to progress on par with the times. It is also the day that inspired patriotism and revitalized national pride among the entire Myanmar people. Therefore, it remains an unforgettable day for all citizens of Myanmar.

The history of Myanmar’s struggle for independence showed the spirit of patriotism and unity which have proven to be a powerful force, as evidenced by the national victories that were achieved. The celebrations of National Victory Day, which were held annually without fail across the entire Union of Myanmar, have now reached their 104th year.

As such, all national people need to preserve the national victory to commemorate National Victory Day yearly. To be able to do so, the whole nation must foster durable peace. Peace is the foundation for the country’s economic development, the improvement of the social lives of its citizens, the harmony and stability within the Union, and the rule of law.

Through mutual respect and understanding between national races, cooperation between individuals can be fostered, and misunderstandings and conflicts can be reduced, resolving issues through dialogue. Relationships based on trust allow challenges to be overcome together, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and collaborative coexistence, ensuring long-term and sustainable peace.

If political issues are resolved through armed conflict instead of political means, it will result in a situation where there is freedom but no peace. Furthermore, it is essential to be mindful that the non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity, and perpetuation of sovereignty must be preserved to avoid any potential risks.

Everybody must join hands to build durable peace. They have to work together in unity to achieve national stability, peace, and development. Now is the time for all national brethren to eliminate misunderstandings and doubts, reject undesirable ideologies, and come together in mutual trust, respect, and love. Whenever everybody remembers National Victory Day, they have to forge durable peace for all through united strength to develop the nation without any hindrances.
