Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission, has emphasized the strategic importance of Kokogyun due to its geographical location and urged military personnel and their families stationed there to remain vigilant about security matters.

Speaking on October 18, 2025, during a meeting with officers, soldiers, and their families at the Kokogyun Township military base, the Senior General said:

"Kokogyun is located in a geographically significant area for our country. Therefore, not only the officers and soldiers serving in the Kokogyun military region but also their family members must live with a strong sense of security awareness and alertness.”

He reiterated that the Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces) is an organization responsible for the defense of the nation, and that all personnel should maintain a defense-oriented mindset.

He added that soldiers must remain battle-ready through continuous training and preparation, in accordance with their duties as members of the armed forces.

The Senior General also noted that, given the current political situation in Myanmar, the Tatmadaw continues to play a leading role in national political affairs.

He stated that the general elections will be held soon, describing elections as essential for building a democratic nation. He called on all officers, soldiers, and their families to actively cooperate to ensure the elections are conducted successfully.
