In his message of greetings, the SAC Chairman first extended warm greetings to all ethnic people residing in the country with physical and mental well-being and auspiciousness on the occasion of the 76th Anniversary of Independence Day of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

SAC Chairman highlighted the ethnic people’s struggle for the independence describing Ethnic people applied the Union spirit based on valuing their own monarchy, indomitable spirit against suppression, and extremely bitter towards British colonialists and fascists as the strongest power and arm in fighting in the independence struggle with relentless efforts.

Consequently, Myanmar has been standing as an independent and sovereign country for 76 years from 4 January 1948. Although they possessed a Union with independence as an unrivaled prestige due to sacrifice and patriotic spirit of forefathers for the State, the country Myanmar faced periods of different dogmatisms based on racism.

Such internal conflict depended on weakness in national unity based on the instigated administrative mechanism of colonialists for many years. From then on, the country encountered different terrible dangers that posed threats to the disintegration of the Union and sovereignty.

The SAC Chairman Prime Minister called for all ethnic people to deeply follow “Our Three Main National Causes” in shaping the Union based on genuine, disciplined democratic and federal systems to forge the strength of national unity. An emphasis must be placed on building a Union based on a democratic and federal system in the regionally-based system but ethnic-based federalism.

In building such a Union, as all leaders, implementers, and followers need to have knowledge, technology, personal capacity, and critical thinking skills, efforts must be made for the enhancement of a comprehensive education sector that can turn human resources for the State.

The SAC Chairman also elaborated the government’s efforts for the development of country’s economy and education sector and preparations to hold a free and fair multiparty democratic general election.

In the conclusion of the message of greeting, the SAC Chairman urged all national brethren to deeply accept five national objectives of the 76th Anniversary of Independence Day 2024 and join hands among them in unison to participate in striving for the perpetuity of the Independence and Sovereignty of Myanmar with genuine patriotic spirit and Union spirit.
