Then, Union Minister U Thein Oo gave his approval to the meeting’s decision and the next course of action.

In a Facebook post on September 19, NUG’s Deputy Minister U Maw Htun Aung stated that the National Unity Government, which began without an army, is now commanding the most powerful army in the country with more than 300 PDF battalions and is spearheading the revolution.
The Deputy Minister emphasised the importance of the Chain of Command (COC), stating, “According to the relationship between hard power and soft power, if the COC is realised, the power projection of the NUG and affiliated organisations will have an effect on the revolution and politics.” He further added, “Hence, through strengthening our alliance relationships and fostering a deeper understanding, we can harness the potential of this power for the benefit of the revolution, rather than perceiving it as a threat.”
