THE opening ceremonies for People’s Military Service Training 21 were held yes­terday at various military commands, with the com­mandants of the training de­pots delivering the opening speeches.

 

The ceremonies were at­tended by the Nay Pyi Taw Council chairman, chief minis­ters of the respective regions and states, the commanders of the relevant commands, and other officials. Trainees were presented with cash awards, foodstuffs and essential items.

 

The People’s Military Ser­vice Law was enacted as every citizen has a duty to safeguard the Our Three Main National Causes: non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of national solidarity, and the perpetuation of sovereignty. The law came into effect on 10 February 2024 to facilitate the organization of military training courses. Those who have completed the People’s Military Service Training are now serving in various military units, fulfilling their responsibilities for national defence and security. — MNA/ KTZH
