In his speech, the Senior General stressed the need to vaccinate COVID-19 vaccine arriving at regions, states and self-administered zones to people as quickly as possible.
Medical officers and nurses from local military units need to inject COVID-19 vaccine to the people in the area where health staff are required due to CDM activity. Dead rate of COVID-19 does not decline across the world. Despite declining of infection and dead rate, Myanmar should do necessary things not to be careless for prevention of the pandemic. As those injected with COVID-19 vaccine can be infected, all need to abide by COVID-19 guidelines issued by the Ministry of Health and Sports. A plan is underway to inject 500,000 units of vaccine to the people before the New Year period.
Only when the people have good business, will they live peacefully.
As factories and industries need to be operated for people to earn income, fulfillment must be given in regions and states. It is necessary to avoid loss of businesses at a time outbreak of COVID-19 brought loss to businesses. Arrangements must be made for the people to have jobs so as to earn increased income. Only when the people’s economy booms, will the country be peaceful and tranquil.
With regard to learning, the data collected in the country in 2019 showed 3.7 million of people had not attended the schools. The majority of those people is from states. The Senior General urged them to turn out educated people in their regions, states and selfadministered zones. Learning is a social matter, and it is necessary to arrange reading tables for literacy of the people. Last five year, members of the Sangha faced dissatisfaction for the religious affairs. As such, all need to perform fulfillment for members of the Sangha to have satisfaction so as to serve the religious affairs. Number of people with faith in Buddhism is 87 percent in Myanmar. As such, Myanmar is a Theravada Buddhist country. It is necessary to provide assistance to those with faith in other religions to do their respective religious affairs satisfactorily. At present, the majority of youth in Myanmar are lack of culture, abandoning parents and rudely assaulting members of the Sangha and teachers. So, it is necessary to straighten morale and culture of the youths. The Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA) conducts cultural courses and vocational courses for the youths.
Officials need to improve cultural knowledge of the people in accord with the religion.
Only when the State economy develops, will the country have firm currency. Trade deficit causes currency value of Myanmar. Efforts must be made for increasing production to be exported. Regions and States produce suitable products for development of trade. It is necessary to boom the economy by exporting agricultural and livestock breeding products, rather than extraction of natural resources. Likewise, cooperative tasks must be done.
Other countries are carrying out cooperative businesses successfully.
Myanmar needs to utilize good soil, water and human resources.
Jobs must be created for people from basic strata so as to develop the economy. The government will adopt the policies and officials from regions and states need to continue implementation of projects.

Then, the Senior General said as now is period of COVID-19,Thingyan pavilions will not be allowed. But, all will be allowed to enjoy water throwing festival in accord with the disciplines. Regions and states must hold outdoor sport competitions to enhance health,fitness and morale. With regard to economy, regions and states need to produce quality value-added products in line with the motto of one village, one product. If so, tourism industry and exportation will develop. Economic development zones and industrial zones must be established in respective regions and these zones must be supervised for effective process.
