Preserve fine traditions of Kayin ethnicity for more generations
THE Kayin ethnic people joyfully celebrate their New Year Festival every year on the 1st waxing Pyatho. It is a time for the Kayin people to embrace the New Year with renewed energy, optimism, and a fresh spirit, symbolizing a new beginning.
The national races residing together in the Republic of the Union of Myanmar have diverse customs and traditions. Despite differences in birthplace, region, language, literature, culture, religion, traditions, and customs, they have coexisted harmoniously as siblings within the Union, sharing the same land and resources to possess the same fortune.
During the period when the country was under colonial rule, the Kayin people, driven by patriotism and a strong sense of national pride, joined hands with all other ethnic groups to fight for the country’s independence, sacrificing their lives, blood, and sweat. This historical contribution remains a source of great pride and respect.
In Myanmar, the Kayin ethnic group, as well as all national brethren from various regions, should always preserve and uphold their noble traditions for durable existence. If everyone stands united, in harmony and solidarity, the Union will remain stable, strong, and enduring with unity.
Peace is fundamental for the economic development of the nation, the improvement of the social lives of its citizens, national peace, prosperity and the rule of law. Mutual respect among ethnic organizations, cooperation between individuals, and reducing misunderstandings and conflicts through dialogue and discussions are a key to resolving issues.
The government has been holding meetings and discussions with political parties and ethnic armed groups to achieve durable peace. It has also been able to record the views obtained from these discussions, which will be further deliberated and confirmed in future parliamentary sessions. Invitations for continued dialogue are always open, and the door remains open for further engagement. In the future, efforts will continue to be made to work towards peace.
Currently, to ensure the necessary peace and stability, rule of law, and socioeconomic development, all ethnic people, including the Kayin ethnic group residing in Kayin State, must unite and work together. To reduce the occurrence of conflicts and violent unrest in relevant regions, including Kayin State, they must work in unity to bring about peace and harmony, with all ethnic groups joining together to contribute to a peaceful and prosperous Union. It is hoped that this will lead to greater stability and development.
