Don’t forget that the strength of the nation lies within

THE political driving force, the economic driving force and the defence driving force are pivotal in building the nation. In this regard, public participation in these driving forces is also an important force in the nation.

 

According to the ideology of political science, if the country is stable and united, the political force will be strong. Only when the military might and security might are strong will the defence capability be high. As the economic might is essential for the improvement of political and defence might, strengthening the economic driving force is based on turning out many intellectuals and intelligentsia.

 

The population in the rural area of the nation accounts for 70 per cent of the total population. Development undertakings in the rural area initiate the booming of the economy at township and district levels, and then the regional level as well as the national level. The urban economic sector should be a root for developing the industrial zones and special economic zones capable of shaping the new mechanized nation. At this juncture, public participation plays a crucial role in booming the businesses in both rural and urban areas.

 

The strength of the nation lies within. Only when public participation is better will the government place more emphasis on the improvement of the nation. It is necessary to turn out a large number of educated new generation youths accumulated with a wide range of knowledge and high talented skills. A wide range of youths will be capable of effectively applying the modern economic tactics how to overcome economic crises and tackle financial situations so as to catch up with businesspersons from developing and developed nations.

 

If so, human resources based on those educated youths can be deployed for the sake of the nation and the people. Indeed, human resources never run out depending on the number of educated persons although natural resources of the nation can run out due to extraction and utilization.

 

Currently, the government is striving for the exportation of value-added products, manufacturing the various import-substitute products and increasing the export volume more than the imports in line with the economic objective involved in the nine State objectives.

 

As such, both the government and the people need to rely on internal strength in order to improve the State and private economic sectors with greater contributions of educated youths. If so, Myanmar will grasp a great economic opportunity in the future. GNLM
