Collective force of the ASEAN members which have owned powerful weapons including Vietnam and Myanmar that have military experience is remarkably reliable for the world, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC).
He said that in his video message sent to the 11th Moscow Conference on International Security in 2023 (MCIS-2023) held on 15th August in Moscow, Russia.
"Although ASEAN is not a military alliance, the combined defense force of the member countries is huge. Collective strength of the consolidation between Vietnam and Myanmar with military experiences and other ASEAN countries possessing powerful weapons is remarkably reliable for the world." he said.

Myanmar civil war started three months after Myanmar gained her independence on 4th January 1948 and it has not stopped up to now.
The Tatmadaw toppled down the NLD government on 1st February 2021 after saying that NLD was trying to form a government without solving the ballot dispute that took place in the 2020 general election and has declared the state of emergency up to now.
Starting from that political landscape, NLD MPs and party members, some EAOs and democracy activists are striving to oust the Tatmadaw and battles are breaking out in Sagaing, Magway, Tanintharyi Regions, Chin, Kayin and Kayah States.
Although the Tatmadaw has military experience, it has been unable to achieve the peace, stability and the rule of law, which should be aware of, pointed out the political community.
