Good economic driving force will help develop the nation, Chairman of the State Administration Council Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said.
He made this comment at the meeting with region-, district- and township-level departmental officials, local elders and MSME entrepreneurs from Sagaing Region at Chindwin Hall of the local government office on 20 March.
The Senior General said standing of a country depends on political, economic and defence driving forces. If it standing is based on united citizens, its political strength will be higher. If the country builds powerful defence capability, it will be powerful in the international arena to some degree.
Among these forces, the economic driving force plays a key role to contribute to development of the nation as well as peace and stability. Only when the economic driving force improves will political and defence driving forces be built. Hence, everybody needs to understand the economy, the Senior General said.
The government manages development of the State economy as well as the public economy. Myanmar is engaged in the business based on agriculture and livestock farms. Hence, it is necessary to emphasize agro-and livestock based businesses in improving the State and the citizen interests and initiating the prosperity of the people, he added.
MSME entrepreneurs from Sagaing Region reported on points and progress of work.
Later, the Senior General took a tour of exhibits of mineral products, foodstuff, personal goods, industrial products, traditional handicraft, clothing and traditional medicine on display. He had questions on the products’ market availability and the entrepreneurs briefed on their businesses.
