The excerpts from New Year Wishes for 2022 extended by the Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC) Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing on 22 December 2021 are as follows:
· The Prime Minister extended his greetings to all esteemed national brethren for mental and physical health and well-being with auspiciousness on the occasion of the New Year 2022. I implemented the stands on the peace and stability of the State, unity and development as much as possible for ensuring the firm path of multiparty democracy we all are walking today.
· The Tatmadaw is always serving the interests of the State and the ethnic people in accord with the duty and obligations entrusted by the Constitution. Our government will continuously cooperate with the ethnic people in harmony for further peace and stability of the State, prosperity and food sufficiency.
· The Coronavirus disease triggered by COVID-19 changed itself to the Omicron variant virus. It has been found in our country, so all people need to take care of such a pandemic. With regard to the vaccination, I set an aim to complete vaccination for more than 50 percent of the targeted people in 2021. So far, people more than 18 years old have been vaccinated for more than 51 percent. As schools have been reopened, over 87 percent of the students above 12 years old have been inoculated. I would like to inform the people about efforts to produce the vaccines at home.
· Coming 12 February is the Diamond Jubilee Union Day and the 4 January 2023 will be the Diamond Jubilee Independence Day. As such, this year is the pre-Diamond Jubilee period. In this year, all stakeholders and organizations are invited to join the peace talks.
Afterwards, the government will continue its endeavours for ensuring peace and stability of the State, development, the prosperity of the State, peace and emergence of the Union based on democracy and federalism. Upholding the saying goes: “Unity will reflect the prosperity”, I would like to urge all to join hands for the prosperity of the State.
