• More than 1.7 million of the population, including Bamar and other ethnics are residing in Kachin State in fraternity in addition to Kachin ethnic groups, namely Jingphaw, Lachid, Lawwaw, Lisu, Rawang and Zaiwa and Shan ethnic groups such as Tailon, Taileng, Taikhamti, Taisa and Tailey.
• As Kachin State has many natural resources blessed by nature, if development tasks can be undertaken for the state based on these natural scenes and natural resources, national and ethnic people will have socioeconomic development and job opportunities.
• The current situation is being managed by the emergence of a peaceful and prosperous future for the State and all national people.
• The government and Tatmadaw pledge to join hands with ethnic people in successfully implementing adopted visions, roadmaps, and objectives, as well as strengthening the multiparty democratic system.
• To achieve success in the implementation of national and political visions, as it is important for the enhancement of intelligence and knowledge of local ethnic people, a particular emphasis must be placed on the promotion of education.
• Currently, the government is implementing plans to develop socioeconomic life, including agriculture, livestock, education, health, communications and electric power sectors for the development of Kachin State.
• If Kachin State can maintain existing natural resources and systematically promote the production of value-added products, it will contribute to the sufficiency of needs in the state and supply the demands of the country.
• Moreover, products can be exported abroad as it is a border area, which will help improve the socioeconomic life of the local people and generate income for the State.
• The government cooperates with ethnic people, including Tatmadaw, to safeguard “Our Three Main National Causes” as national political duties based on genuine patriotic spirit forever.
• It is necessary to follow NCA so as to ensure peace of the whole Union, which is essential for building a peaceful and prosperous nation that all people aspire to.
• In forging peace of our country, only when national brethren have to seek the solution in political dialogue based on the Union spirit will they achieve success. All  ethnic people are urged to harmoniously serve the interest of the State through the united strength.
• During the period from the post-independence period to date, as border areas and ethnic areas, including Kachin State, have been missing chances for peace and stability, local ethnic people cannot enjoy the essence of independence and encounter social problems.

Hence, all are urged to cease the tragic events in our era and try hard to hand over a good legacy for the future to new generations by building a developed nation with durable peace.
