Strive for success of 87th Anniversary National Day objectives

The 10th Waning of Tazaungmon (today)is the 87th Anniversary National Day of the Union of Myanmar.

The National Day is the day on which the national education activities werelaunched. The mass movements to oppose the education system of colonialists were launched on that day.Therefore, the National Day is a day of significance and is something to be proud of.

As the national activities took place at a time when the nation was under the rule of colonialists it paved the way for the independence struggle.

Myanmars were found to be strongly equipped with patriotism and nationalistic fervour in successive eras. They were united in times of emergency. With such patriotic spirit they were able to drive the colonialists out of the nation. As national education activities have resulted in the regaining of the independence they went down in the annals of Myanmar history.

At present, the government is striving together with the people for the emergence of a peaceful, modern, developed and disciplineflourishing democratic nation. With this end in view, it has laid down and is implementing the seven-step Road Map.

The National Convention attended by delegates from all walks of life laid down fundamental principles and detailed basic principles for the writing of the State constitution. And work is well under way to draw the State constitution.
All in all, the entire people are to dotheir bit in discharging the national duties in accordance with the 87th Anniversary NationalDay’s objectives—to uplift dynamism of patriotic spirit and national prestige and integrity; to promote national education; to ensure perpetuation of independence and sovereignty; and to realize the State’s seven-step Road Map.
