As Myanmar is an agriculture-based country, efforts must be made to apply Artificial Intelligence (AI) widely in the agricultural sector, said Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.

He made the remarks during his keynote speech at the science workshop titled “Youth and the Future of Myanmar – Science and Technology”, held in Moscow, Russia, on September 25, 2025.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing stated, “In Myanmar, we must also strive to apply AI in the fields of education, healthcare, and transportation. Since our country is an agriculture-based nation, AI technology must be extensively applied in the agricultural sector.”

He added that Myanmar must work to utilize AI effectively, establish a strong AI ecosystem, and nurture a qualified human resource pool. Through the development and application of AI technology, Myanmar should advance its national development as well as its socio-economic progress.

On the subject of nuclear energy, he said Myanmar must strive to develop nuclear technology and make peaceful use of nuclear power. 
Since nuclear and radiation technologies can be applied not only in the energy sector but also in healthcare, agriculture, livestock, industry, and environmental conservation, Myanmar will need skilled human resources to establish a nuclear infrastructure base.

Senior General Min Aung Hlaing arrived in Russia on September 24, 2025, marking his fourth visit to the country.

His first visit was in September 2022 when he attended the 7th Far Eastern Economic Forum in Russia and met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on September 7. His second visit was on March 4, 2025, when he met President Putin in Moscow. 

Likewise, his third visit took place in May 2025, during which he again held talks with President Putin.
