 The members of the National Unity Government (NUG) should not work in the interests of their own nationalities only and they should work on all-encompassing national issues, said Acting President of the NUG, Duwa Lashila. 

He said the above at the meeting of the NUG held on 27th February, 2024.

" The NUG is made up of various ethnic groups including Shan, Kachin, Karen, Karenni, Mon, Burman, Ta'ang,and Chin. So, each and every member of the NUG needs to look at the national affairs and take action instead of looking ahead to their ethnicity so that we can move forward with a strong and compact national unity force in the process of building a future federal union. We need to continue trying to be more united politically with revolutionary forces on the ground. Especially, when we do relif work for the war victims, we can only deal with public issues more effectively if we have a comprehensive understanding with the forces on the ground." he said.

Moreover, on the ground, the revolutionary forces could not cooperate. So, it was necessary to beware of delays in public support activities, he pointed out.
