Our aim is to establish a federal democratic union and a society that upholds human rights. The Kachin people have played a significant role in the ongoing spring revolution, with President Duwa Lashi La leading the National Unity Government. We also respect and honor all the Kachin national heroes who have sacrificed their lives since the establishment of KIO in 1961 until now. The strong leadership of General N’ Ban La has inspired various revolutions, calling for our respect and emulation. General Gun Maw is also a widely respected leader among all. Our gratitude extends to all ethnic groups, including the Kachin, for their participation and support in our endeavors.”

Myanmar-born ethnic brothers and sisters in Australia attended the ceremony dressed in their traditional ethnic attire.

U Min Ko Naing, one of the leaders of the 88th generation, urged people to fight against the terrorist military council in a variety of ways, besides coming to the liberated areas.

“Be careful of them stubbornly announcing the most brutal method of using force, even though they know that they can’t really fight after training people in hand-to-hand combat. We should fight against the forced summons as military slavery by using other methods besides escaping to the liberated area.

Currently, the military council has to admit that there are no more soldiers left, and since it has become unruly, the people must respond in an orderly manner,” he said.

U Min Ko Naing called on those who have claimed that they will stand only on the side of the people when the fascist military’s summons and medical examination boards will extort money from the people.

“Besides, I don’t want you to easily think that you will go to jail rather than joining the fascist military,” he also warned.
