Amid political challenges, the people of Myanmar must be self-reliant as the nation will be progressive and stable only through cooperation, according to junta chief Min Aung Hlaing.
“Politically, we are facing various kinds of criticism and restrictions,” the coup leader said on state-broadcaster MRTV on Monday to mark nine months of the ouster of the civilian government led by Aung San Suu Kyi. “Now is the time our people must be working together to ensure development and stability of the country,” he said.
