The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Speaker extended greetings at the first regular session of the Third Pyidaungsu Hluttaw on its first day. The full text of the translated greetings is as follows: –
First and
foremost, I would like to extend my greetings, Mingalaba, to all and wish all
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw representatives and distinguished guests attending the first
day of the First Regular Session of the Third Pyidaungsu Hluttaw held today
good health and peace of mind.
I would like
to state that I am deeply honoured and pleased that, having been elected as the
Speaker of the Third Amyotha Hluttaw, I will, under Section 76 (a) of the
Constitution, concurrently serve as the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw Speaker for a term
of two and a half years, or 30 months.
Today is the
first day of the first regular session of the Third Pyidaungsu Hluttaw fully
attended by Hluttaw representatives elected by the people based on their will
in the 2025 multiparty democratic general election and Defence Services
Personnel Hluttaw Representatives.
Esteemed
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw representatives,
According to
the historical events of our country and the demands of the current time, the
State and the majority of the people ultimately aim to establish a Union based
on genuine, disciplined democracy and a federal system. Flourishing the
multiparty democracy is very important for reaching the goal as early as
possible. Amid various difficulties and challenges along the path towards
democracy, the current government, with relentless efforts and determination,
successfully held a free, fair, and dignified multiparty general election in
the presence of international observers. So, the Hluttaw meetings are held for
those representatives elected by the people to serve the legislative
responsibilities.
During the
first regular sessions of the third relevant Hluttaws, key matters of
importance to the State and its citizens will be addressed. These include the
election of the President and Vice-Presidents; the election of Speakers and
Deputy Speakers of the Hluttaws; the formation of the Union Government; the
appointment and assignment of duties to members of Union-level bodies; the
formation of regional and state governments, including Chief Ministers and
cabinets; and the establishment of Hluttaw affairs committees and joint
committees. These procedures will be implemented with the approval of the
Hluttaws.
Esteemed
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw representatives,
Due to the
prompt repair and rehabilitation efforts carried out following the damage
caused by the major Mandalay earthquake on 28 March 2025, the Hluttaw sessions
are held successfully at present. In line with the country’s situation and the
dignity of its citizens, the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw would like to respectfully
express its special gratitude to the State Government and the National Defence
and Security Council for reconstructing and restoring these grand Hluttaw
buildings and for making thorough and well-prepared arrangements in advance to
ensure that nothing is lacking for the attending Hluttaw representatives.
The
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is not only the body that approves bills submitted and
debated in the Pyithu Hluttaw and Amyotha Hluttaw, but also the institution
that makes final decisions on important matters of the State. Therefore, the
role of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is of high significance. Likewise, the role of
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw representatives is also important.
Therefore,
Hluttaw representatives are required to comply with the established laws and
rules and to conduct themselves as role models. In addition, without personal
cult or party bias, they should prioritize only the national interest and the
interests of the State and its citizens, and engage in mutual respect and
dialogue to ensure that better decisions emerge from differing viewpoints.
Sometimes,
when the Pyithu Hluttaw and the Amyotha Hluttaw have differing views on bills
and they are discussed and decided in the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, those
representatives should not be influenced by institutional bias, ideology, or
party allegiance. Instead, they should focus solely on producing better legal
provisions and conducting discussions based on understanding and unity.
The desire
to ensure that the State remains stable, peaceful, and developed, and to build
a genuine, disciplined, democratic and federal Union that achieves durable
peace, is the shared aspiration and common goal of all of our Hluttaw
representatives. Therefore, we should consult, coordinate, and deliberate on
matters that will benefit the State and its citizens through mutual
understanding, unity, and solidarity.
The main
duty of the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw is, in accordance with the Constitution, to
carry out legislation and oversight in exercising the three branches of State
sovereign power – legislative, executive, and judicial – to the extent possible
through separation of powers and mutual checks and balances.
Every law
enacted and approved by the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw must be one that primarily
promotes the interests of the State and its citizens, rather than the interests
of any organization or private entity. At present, outdated laws that are no
longer consistent with current times and systems should be reviewed and
analyzed, and amended or repealed as necessary. New laws that benefit the State
and its citizens should be submitted, debated, and approved. In addition, the
effectiveness and applicability of existing laws should be reassessed, and they
should be amended where necessary.
We, Hluttaw
representatives, are required to thoroughly study and precisely comply with the
legislative provisions contained in the Constitution of the Republic of the
Union of Myanmar, as well as the Hluttaw laws and rules. As members of the
legislative body, we must work together in the Hluttaw, in cooperation with the
executive and judicial branches, to deliberate and make decisions in the
interests of the State and the people. Therefore, we should engage in
discussions and carry out our duties based on the spirit of the Union and
cooperation.
Esteemed
Hluttaw representatives,
In
conclusion, I would like to state that, during my tenure as Speaker of the
Pyidaungsu Hluttaw, I will work with integrity and loyalty, giving priority to
the realization of a Union based on genuine, disciplined democracy and a
federal system desired by the citizens of the country. In this Hluttaw, which
operates in accordance with democratic practices, I urge all of us to work
together in unity so that the laws, rules, and Hluttaw traditions we follow
will become good precedents and exemplary practices for future generations. I
also conclude by expressing my confidence that we will be able to build a
Hluttaw that the public can trust.
#TheGlobalNewLightOfMyanmar
