Excerpts from Senior
General Than Shwe’s speech
*
Chindwin Bridge (Monywa) will contribute much to both Monywa and
its environs. It will also provide better transport in the
region.
* The
nation-building tasks like construction of bridges
need to be carried out in the aftermath of the independence but
they could not be undertaken due to various reasons.
* In
the time of the present government all-round construction tasks
are being implemented for national development, for ensuring
better transport, and for enhancing the living standard of
people.
* A
great deal of tasks for construction of bridges and roads,
building of railways, airports, dams, reservoirs, embankments,
mills and factories, schools and hospitals still left to be
carried out.
* The
Government has been making strenuous efforts out of goodwill to
bring about harmonious and equitable development the length and
breadth of the nation. In this connection, active participation
of the people is specially needed.
*
Relentless and sustained efforts are needed for national
development.
* People
are to lend themselves in the tasks for ensuring the national
development being implemented by the Government. |
