U Pheung Daxun, Commander in Chief of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), released a New Year Message on 1st January, 2024 and explained about the objectives to the MNDAA forces.
He talked about cracking down on online gambling, reconstruction of the Special Region-1, situation relating to the ability to capture the Tatmadaw camps and how to govern the Special Region-1 after it was reconstructed.
However, he did not say anything about building a federal union which everyone wanted to build, the federal charter laid down by the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC), an advisory body of the National Unity Government and the Spring Revolution.
" Regaining power of the Special Region-1 of Shan State, Myanmar is just the first step in our national process. We have made preparations for party, administrative committee, military construction system, political system, administrative system and cadre training. But our forces have to inherit the frugal tradition of old revolutionists and their ways to do and must work hard all out together with the people for the regional development on the basis of the constitution of the Special Region-1." said U Pheung Daxun.

After that, however hard the future of Kokang region was, the special region administrative committee would not allow online gambling and narcotic drug industries. The people should not be oppressed. Corruption and bad habits that arose during the period when the puppet organization ruled would be absolutely eradicated, he said.
" What I can responsibly tell all the soldiers and civilians within the special region-1, the Myanmar National Truth and Justice Party (MNTJP), the MNDAA and the Special Region-1 Administrative Committee promise to make the special regional-1 peacefully develop. Because the present time is important for the restoration of the Special Region-1, if all the forces are able to overcome the final difficulties, the final success will arrive in the hands of the people, which I believe fully." said U Pheung Taxun.

It was strange that U Pheung Taxun's 2024 New Year Message did not contain anything about the federal charter and the NUG.
The main objective of the Operation-1027 was to regain the Special Region-1 of the MNDAA and the operation was not obviously related to the NUG's Spring Revolution, pointed out political commentators.
