Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said the State Administration Council has been discharging duties honestly for the betterment of the country.

He made the comment during a meeting with SAC members, union ministers, chief ministers of states and regions and chairman of self-administered divisions and areas on 24th March, 2023.

Political, economic, administrative, international relations and defence measures have to be taken for the development of a country. The SAC has adopted and been implementing five visions and 12 objectives during its assumption of duties. As the SAC is discharging its duties at the national levle, it is necessary to carry out tasks seriously, the SAC chairman said.

He said, "The government has assumed state power and performing duties honestly for the betterment of the country by declaring a state of emergency in accordance with the 2008 constitution due to voting irregularities in the 2020 general election. All the performances of the government will be documented in history. Therefore, all responsible officials are required to perform duties for the development of the country honestly during the term of the SAC."

After declaring a state of emergency and assuming duties by the SAC, some opposition organizations at home and abroad launched attacks on the SAC with the aim of disrupting the administrative mechanism and the banking system. As the SAC took measures to prevent the collapse of the banking system, money circulation has returned to normal since the middle of 2022, he added.
