State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi met with Myanmar citizens in Britain at the Landmark Hotel in London at 10 am LST on May 9.
In the meeting, the State Counsellor said, “We regard all Myanmar citizens and all those who had been born in Myanmar to be the same without any discrimination as family members. Our country has started to move towards the democratic system, not reaching full democracy yet but moving towards it step by step. All the citizens are responsible for gaining full democracy. In making the nation develop, a government or an organization or a person alone cannot do the job. The whole populace must take part in it.
We will work hard for our nation to be peaceful, stable and developed.”
The State Counsellor added, “The most important thing for our country is peace and national reconciliation. Without peace, we cannot achieve genuine and long-lasting development. We have already had quantity, so we must try hard to achieve quality. We must try hard to have intellect and character.
Our new government practices loving kindness and loyalty towards the people.
As Myanmar citizens, you should educate your offspring to know Myanmar culture and Myanmar language, though you are living apart from your mother country. If you wish to help Myanmar, you must know the basics of Myanmar culture and have respect for our own culture.”
