PYITHU Hluttaw Deputy Speaker and Myanmar Par­liamentary Union (MPU) Member U Maung Maung Ohn met the Speaker, Dep­uty Speaker and represent­atives of the Yangon Region Hluttaw yesterday at the Nawarat Hall of the Yangon Region Hluttaw Office.

Following the screening, U Maung Maung Ohn deliv­ered the opening remarks, while Yangon Region Hlut­taw Speaker U Htay Aung discussed key regional Hluttaw affairs.

The Pyithu Hluttaw Deputy Speaker urged par­liamentary representatives to collaborate across the executive, legislative and judicial branches following free and fair elections to advance national develop­ment alongside the public while stressing that legisla­tors should raise questions and submit motions in the Yangon Region Hluttaw that directly address the needs of local constituents. He also highlighted the importance of amending, supplementing or enacting laws in line with current affairs, noting that the Py­idaungsu Hluttaw has re­cently enacted new legisla­tion to combat online fraud, while stressing the need for inter-parliamentary coop­eration to deliver tangible benefits to the region and calling for ongoing capac­ity-building initiatives for both representatives and Hluttaw staff.
