The attention of the world on the Rakhine issue has been immense, beginging with the attacks on the police outposts in Rakhine State last October and the terrorist attacks happened again in August, 2017.
“There has been a lot of criticisms against our country. We need to understand international opinion. However, just as no one can fully understand the situation of our country the way we do, no one can desire peace and development for our country more than us,” said the State Counsellor in her report to the country’s people on 12 October.
“Rather than rebutting criticisms and allegations with words, we will show the world by our actions and our deeds, she added.
For the development of Rakhine State and to implement projects in all sectors, the Union Government has established the mechanism “Union Enterprise for Humanitarian and Development in Rakhine”.
At a ceremony to accept cash donations from the country’s businessmen for the UEHRD in Nay Pyi Taw on 20 October, she also called for unity among the government, the people and the businessmen for the success of the project in Rakhine State as part of efforts for laying down a foundation for the Union.—Myanmar News Agency
