MoI Union Minister urges stronger public awareness of govt policies, activities
THE Ministry of Information must play a
key role in ensuring that the public understands the guidelines, and activities
of the Union Government and gains knowledge, said Union Minister for
Information U Htein Lin during a separate meeting held yesterday morning in Tatkon
Township, Nay Pyi Taw, where he gave instructions on work-related matters to
the staff of Myanma Radio and Television (MRTV) and the News and Periodicals
Enterprise.
He also said that, as the country is
based primarily on agriculture and livestock breeding, priority should be given
to disseminating information that will benefit rural communities. In addition,
the media sector needs to support the development of micro, small, and
medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) under the One Region, One Product policy and
create attractive programmes to promote inbound tourism.
He explained that all employees need to
combine their skills and artistic talents to effectively communicate the
country’s policies to the public, including educational and health awareness
content in programmes, and adhere to press policies.
After the meeting, the Union minister
toured the MRTV facility and inspected the installation of satellite receivers
and the water-cooled air-conditioning system, as well as facilities for
employees’ physical fitness and recreation.
He proceeded to view the broadcasting
operations of Meyu FM Radio at Nay Pyi Taw Broadcasting Station 1 and Thapyay
Radio at Station 2, inspected the radio broadcasting equipment, and presented
awards to employees.
He then toured the children’s reading
room at the Tatkon Township Information and Public Relations Department office
and the public library, where they observed students reading and inspected the
orderly arrangement of books. He also presented awards to staff members and
observed Book Club members conducting reading discussions. The authors
presented copies of their published books to the Union minister. — MNA/TH
