NAY PYI TAW March 7
Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, who is on an official goodwill visit to the Republic of Belarus, met and addressed officer trainees studying in Minsk, Belarus, on the evening of March 7, local time, at the President Hotel.
The meeting was attended by Council Joint Secretary Gene ral Ye Win Oo, Council member General Nyo Saw, Union-level officials accompanying the trip, Myanmar Ambassador to Belarus U Thit Lin Ohn, senior military officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief, deputy ministers, military attaché (Army, Navy and Air) and responsible officials, as well as the officer trainees.
In his address, the Senior General stated that sending students abroad for education is done with clear objectives. While some are sent for postgraduate studies, others are dispatched based on specific needs. By sending trainees to attend these courses, the nation aims to develop human resources. He urged the trainees to complete their courses within the stipulated time and to strive to truly master the subjects they are taught.
As individuals selected to study abroad, they must value themselves and work harder. While they invest their own time and money in their education, the State and the Tatmadaw also bear significant costs. Therefore, they must work to contribute to the benefit of the nation and the Tatmadaw, and they should possess a strong desire to serve the interests of both.
Just as everyone has their own aspirations, they must also fulfill the hopes of their country. They should strive to meet the nation’s needs with the knowledge they have acquired. Members of the Tatmadaw are fundamentally of good character and are achievers. They should value themselves and work to improve their lives, maintaining self-discipline and exerting full effort in their endeavours.
Following the meeting, the Senior General provided the officer trainees with meals and cash rewards, and warmly bid them farewell.
