Senior General Min Aung Hlaing highlighted that Myanmar should collaborate with Russia to enhance Myanmar’s sports sector.
Chairman
of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung
Hlaing, currently in Saint Petersburg of the Russian Federation on his official
goodwill visit, met staff and families of the Myanmar Consulate-General in
Saint Petersburg in the Russian Federation yesterday morning of local standard
time.
On his arrival at the Consulate-General, the Senior General and his entourage
were welcomed by the Myanmar Consul-General and staff and families of the
Consulate-General.
The Senior General and party sprinkled scented water on the signboard of the
consulate-general and toured the office.
Next,
the Senior General gave a speech to staff and families of the consulate-general
and officer trainees who are attending the courses in Saint Petersburg.
The Myanmar Consul-General reported on the functions of the consulate-general,
staff affairs, and training courses of trainees. The Senior General asked what
he wanted to know and attended to the needs.
Speaking
on the occasion, the Senior General said that he has arranged the opening of
the Myanmar Consulate-General in Saint Petersburg over the years. The city is a
hub for transport due to a large number of industries as well as the
development of education. The city improves relations with Myanmar. Now, direct
flights are being operated between Mandalay and Novosibirsk City, and
arrangements are being made to operate one more direct flight between Mandalay
and Saint Petersburg. It is necessary to complete all measures concerning
Russia in time. Staff families of the Consulate-General have to serve duties
and complete the tasks in time through check, re-check and counter-check
processes. They have to submit reports on beneficial and detrimental measures for
the State.
He
underscored that Myanmar is working to maintain and enhance good relations with
the Russian Federation. In areas of cooperation, Myanmar is collaborating in
such sectors as the economy, education, healthcare, and social affairs.
Regarding economic matters, it is necessary to export products from Myanmar to
Russia. Due to the geographical distance, suitable products must be exported to
Russia. In this regard, it is important to establish effective and efficient
communication channels.
He
noted that Myanmar focuses on the production of raw materials and also operates
CMP (Cut, Make, and Pack) garment manufacturing businesses. Similarly, raw
rubber materials can be exported. Likewise, rice, coffee, tea, and other
agricultural products, as well as forest products, can also be exported.
Efforts should be made to explore market opportunities for exporting Myanmar’s
products to Saint Petersburg.
The
Senior General highlighted that healthcare services and medicines are of good
quality in Saint Petersburg. Although Myanmar produces medicines, there is a
shortage of cancer treatment medications used in hospitals. Therefore, it is
necessary to cooperate with partners in the technologies to produce such cancer
treatments. Furthermore, it is necessary to make arrangements for Myanmar
students to attend universities in Saint Petersburg to pursue scientific and
technological studies. Myanmar should collaborate with Russia to enhance
Myanmar’s sports sector.
He
urged the Consulate-General to fulfil the needs of trainees for systematic
learning at universities in Saint Petersburg and other necessary measures.
Trainees have to emphasize their learning process.
Staff
members of the Consulate-General need to learn the Russian Language to achieve
greater success in the work process, he added.
The
Senior General presented foodstuffs and cash awards to the families of the
Myanmar Consulate-General and officer trainees.
It
was also attended by Council Joint Secretary General Ye Win Oo, Council Member
General Nyo Saw, Union Ministers U Than Swe and Admiral Moe Aung, Myanmar
Ambassador to the Russian Federation U Thit Linn Ohn, and staff and families of
the Myanmar Consulate-General in Saint Petersburg.
