Experts from the speech delivered by the Chairman of State Administration Council Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing at the meeting are:

• The Tamadaw’s shouldering of duties throughout the successive periods to protect the Union and national solidarity from disintegration and safeguard sovereignty in ensuring security and perpetuation of sovereignty due to the geographical local of the country.
• The vote rigging during the 2020 multiparty general election, attempts to grab state power without addressing the vote rigging problem and Tatmadaw’s declaration of the state of emergency and assumption of the State responsibilities.
• The formation of terrorist groups by some EAOs and those under the influence of foreign instigation and their multiple acts to prevent flourishing of security and peace and stability in the country although there were only demonstrations during the early period of Tatmadaw’s assumption of State power.
• Since the start of its assumption of State responsibilities, SAC has adopted the roadmap and objectives for national development.
• The SAC’s ultimate goal is the holding of a free and fair multiparty general election. It is making necessary preparations including the enumeration of population and housing census, and is making utmost efforts to realize a free, fair and honorable election.
• He appreciates and honours those who are serving the nation and people by shouldering national defence and security duties, while facing internal and external interferences and dangers.
• Tatmadawmen must nurture the habit of learning to know the situation of the area where they are active in. They must have individual-wise and unitwise military knowledge and awareness and have the wisdom to see and prepare for coming security situation.
• The ongoing violence in the country has led to the loss of lives among security forces, civil servants, and civilians, as well as significant damage to infrastructure, including roads, bridges, factories, and buildings constructed for national development. In addition to the state’s loss, individuals also experienced social and economic losses.
• Acts of violence must be defended against by the people, government, and military with a united front. Security responsibilities must be systematically carried out in the areas of service to prevent violence and the use of armed force to intimidate the public.
• As military personnel, we must also strengthen unity within the military and focus on organizing outside the military to unite the military and the people as one.
• By building and uniting forces both within and outside the military, we will collaborate to ensure the security, stability, rule of law, and socio-economic development of the region in which we serve.
• The ability to effectively apply learned military skills, as well as experienced social knowledge and skills, in real-life situations is essential. In line with the “study, practice, and follow” policy, we must continually study the ever-changing military skills, consistently practice the techniques and skills we have learned to improve proficiency, and always adhere to the established rules and regulations.
• In terms of education, officers, soldiers, and their families must read and study books to acquire knowledge that will contribute to the improvement of their lives.
• With the availability of numerous educational opportunities in the Meiktila region, it is essential for the families of officers and soldiers to support their children’s education.
• In terms of welfare, we are ensuring a standard of living for our military personnel that includes provisions for food and shelter, while striving to meet their rights and other needs to the best of our ability.
•  Leaders must also create a good environment for officers, soldiers, and their families, ensuring a balanced and fair governance model. Leaders must command and govern with the spirit of a good commander and a father.
