With a view to building up the Union of Myanmar into a peaceful, modern,developed nation, the government has been implementing the special development region project, national race development project and rural development project so as to ensure the development of all regions of the Union. As the country had been under the divideand- rule policy of colonialists for many years in the past, national races fought with each other for 40 or 50 years sticking to racism, regionalism and ideologies even in the postindependence period. As a consequence, those regions lagged behind in development. In reality, they have been living in the Union thorough thick and thin for many years despite slight differences in the forms and geographical conditions of their regions. Therefore, it is important for national people to cultivate Union Spirit no matter where they live. They also need to nurture their children to be equipped themselves with Union Spirit. It is necessary to thwart any destructive act leading to the disintegration of the Union with Union Spirit. Then the Prime Minister stressed the need for public cooperation with the government in the success of the 2010 general election.
