TODAY marks the day when the Prime Minister returned from Russia after signing numerous agreements aimed at the development of various sectors in Myanmar. Through these agreements, young people in Myanmar will have access to many employment opportunities. Russia and Belarus are among the most technologically advanced countries in the world. Collaborating with such countries has contributed significantly to the economic development of our country. So, we came from Yangon to express our honour and gratitude for welcoming the Prime Minister’s efforts with a warm welcome. We are also proud to have received opportunity for such a warm welcome.

I came from Balatheikdi Ward of Zabuthiri Township to extend a warm welcome to the delegation led by the Prime Minister. Since the Prime Minister’s visit to Russia, I have been continuously following the news from television. Later, when the leader of Russia and our country’s Head of State met, I felt a great sense of pride and honour. I believe that in the future, our country would experience much growth and development. Therefore, today, I am here to offer my heartfelt greetings with joy and smiles.

AS for me, today’s welcome ceremony is a moment of joy and pride, both as a media person and as an individual to honour and express my congratulations. I have been following the results of the Prime Minister’s trip. When he visited China, he was able to accomplish the best outcomes for the benefit of both countries. Now, this trip is even more significant. The positive results from this journey have given us a lot of hope for the country’s future. The public should be proud of this achievement. All efforts made for the betterment of the country should be celebrated by the people. The country’s leaders are working hard to ensure stability, peace, and development. Therefore, both the service personnel and the people must unite on this matter, and through this unity, our nation will continue to be stable, peaceful, and develop. I would like to say that we should follow the leadership of the country’s top leaders with confidence.
