It was necessary to overcome foreign countries' influence and their incitation must be careful, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC).

 

He said the above in his speech video which was sent to the 9th anniversary celebration of the NCA on 15th October 2024.

 

At present, power struggles among powerful countries, powerful countries' political, military and economic interventions on small countries, territorial disputes among countries, terrorist attacks and domestic instabilities were taking place in many parts of the world, said chairman of the SAC.


Some powerful countries were involved in the domestic conflicts of countries and they were attempting to colonize again, which should be careful, warned Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing. But he didn't tell exactly which countries he referred to.

" World powerful countries are making efforts in order to control the economic sector mainly important for the development in attempting to influence on small countries. They are creating a variety of conflicts and crises in small countries so that they can manipulate as they like. At a situation like this, small countries need to overcome their conflicts and crises by using natural resources and sources within their countries." said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.


Moreover, only when armed conflicts died out through the NCA, the Myanmar people could reach the goal they wanted and it was necessary not to believe what foreign countries were supporting terrorism and incited to arise bloodshed among their citizens, he said.


The actions by the MNDAA, the TNLA and the AA which started in October 2023 worsened the public social economic situations and beyond the terrorist acts like that, there were a variety of supports from foreign countries, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing.
During Operation-1027 that was launched in October 2023, the MNDAA, the TNLA, the AA and the NUG/PDFs captured a lot of territories that the Tatmadaw had controlled, including Lashio City.

The MNDAA and the TNLA have made allies with the NUG and are fighting against the Tatmadaw and receiving 200 million dollars from the US each year, which the SAC reported on the night of 25th September.


China has forbidden its citizens from exporting fuel oil and basic foods to the towns and villages in northern Shan State where the MNDAA and the TNLA have controlled.

 

And then, the MNDAA has forbidden its party members, troops and those related to them from travelling to or dealing with the ASEAN members, the US and western countries, reported the MNDAA on 9th September.


Foreign troops were planning to enter and intervene Myanmar and as a result, big and severe changes could arise in the country, said in the statement by the MNDAA not long ago.


Myanmar, a neighboring country of China, has an exit to the Indian Ocean for China and Myanmar is mainly conducting the border trade with China; although Myanmar has five neighboring countries, the main economic partners are China and Thailand; western group has imposed on Myanmar and Myanmar wanted western group to impose on its neighboring countries as well, reported the SAC under the title - China is a true friend of the Myanmar people.
