Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC) Prime Minister     Senior General Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing sent a message to the ceremony to mark the 104th Anniversary of National Victory Day 2024 which falls on 25th of November 2024.

The excerpts from the message delivered by the Chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC) Prime Minister Senior General Thadoe Maha Thray Sithu Thadoe Thiri Thudhamma Min Aung Hlaing to the ceremony to mark the 104th Anniversary of National Victory Day 2024 are as follows:

• The history of Myanmar's struggle for independence showed the spirit of patriotism and unity which have proven to be a powerful force, as evidenced by the national victories that were achieved. The celebrations of National Victory Day, which were held annually without fail across the entire Union of Myanmar, have now reached their 104th year.
• Peace is the foundation for the country's economic development, the improvement of the social lives of its citizens, the harmony and stability  within the Union, and the rule of law. Through mutual respect and understanding between national races, cooperation between individuals can be fostered, and misunderstandings and conflicts can be reduced, resolving issues through dialogue.
• Relationships based on trust allow challenges to be overcome together, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and collaborative coexistence, ensuring longterm and sustainable peace.
• If political issues are resolved through armed conflict instead of political means, it will result in a situation where there is freedom but no peace.
• The State Administration Council has been holding discussions with political parties and ethnic armed organizations to achieve permanent peace, and has been able to document the positions obtained from these bilateral talks for further discussion and approval in future sessions of Hluttaw.
• It is time for all national brethren to eliminate misunderstandings and doubts, reject undesirable ideologies, and come together in mutual trust, respect, and love. Everybody must join hands to build durable peace.
• For the development and progress of a nation, it is necessary to nurture and develop the intellectual capacity of its citizens. Focusing on the growth of their intellect and knowledge plays a key role in ensuring the continuous development of the country.
• In terms of nation-building and development, the State Administration Council is actively supporting the emergence of skilled human resources who are proficient in advanced fields of study, ensuring that highly qualified human resources are available for further development.
• The government is implementing a comprehensive education system that allows everyone to access education, with the aim of nurturing skilled and exceptional young people with five strengths of capacity who can contribute to the country's growth.
• The national education process is not something that can be completed in a short time, nor is it a task that can be accomplished by the efforts of just one person. Success can only be achieved when all citizens actively participate with a national spirit.
• In areas of national races, activities of terrorists and armed insurgents have disrupted peace, the rule of law, and regional development. Furthermore, the learning opportunities for students and the employment opportunities for locals are being lost, severely impacting their socioeconomic lives.
• As the State Administration Council continues to take responsibility for maintaining the peace and prosperity of the community, upholding the rule of law, and contributing to nation-building endeavours, it is crucial that all national races come together in unity and cooperation.
• In accordance with the 104th National Victory Day theme, ‘Let’s unite all nationalities for Union peace’, I urge all citizens of Myanmar to harness the strength, resolve, and energy passed down by our ancestors for the durable peace and sustainable development of the Union of Myanmar which is a heritage of our ancestors through the Union spirit and united national strength.

In conclusion, I would like to urge all ethnic people to unite with a national spirit, working together with determination and building a great Union based on democracy and a federal system to achieve success in the implementation of the national objectives of the this year’s National Victory Day: To foster mutual respect and trust among all nationalities, ensuring durable peace; To cultivate a well-educated populace with the knowledge and skills necessary for the State’s development; To encourage nationwide support for the education sector, contributing towards the allround development of the State; and To enhance domestic production, ensuring the prosperity and food security of the State, reports say.
