- In defence there is the ability and power. Ability must be built through constant individual training. As for the power, all the weapons, machinery, equipment and tools must be powerful.
- Up to-date materials must be used. In this regard, Tatmadaw and MPF must be upgraded to enhance defence ability and defence power.
- As the country has sound foundations for successfully operating agriculture and livestock businesses, efforts must be made for boosting production.
- MSME is of important in business and efforts must be made for production of quality products not emphasizing quantity.
- It is necessary to turn out intelligentsia and intellectuals for boosting production of the nation.
- Efforts are being made to arrange smooth and convenient process for the education staff and uplift their capacity. All have to deeply consider education promotion processes.
