Some powerful countries are interfering the domestic affairs of the country under the name of democracy, SAC chairman Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing said.

He made the comment at the Myanmar-Russia Friendship Forum commemorating the 75th Anniversary of Russia-Myanmar diplomatic relations on 16th February.

He said, "People should be well aware of the fact that some powerful countries are trying to influence the different political processes of smaller countries through various ways and means. Sadly, the worst scenario of it is found to be the interference of the sovereignty of the country by some powerful countries under the name of democracy."

He said countries should have mutual respect, understanding and non-interference in their internal affairs.

However, he did not specify the powerful countries which are interfering in internal affairs.

He said, "We are trying to restore stability while cooperating with ASEAN countries for regional stability and development of the region."

He added that his regime is ready to cooperate with any countries, entities and individuals.

In the world the today, some powerful countries are interfering in the internal affairs of smaller countries under various excuses to destabilize them and to undermint the unity of the smaller countries. On the other hand, they are applying double standards, discrimination and bullying over smaller countries, he added.

Moreover, he thanked the Russian government and the Russia people who have offered assistance to overcome the attempts of some powerful countries to cause the total collapse of Myanmar and he appreciated the friendship.
