Dr Thet Thet Khine, Chairperson of the People’s Pioneer Party (PPP), presented the policy, stance and work procedures of her party through radio and television on the evening of 6 November.

The full text of the presentation is as follows: –

Esteemed citizens of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, I first extend my respectful greetings and wish you all complete well-being and auspiciousness. Our People’s Pioneer Party, widely known as the 3-P party, is a programmatic party established based on policies and operational procedures. Following the party’s motto, “People’s livelihood comes first; grow peacefully and securely”, we have set policies and programmes aimed at building a better future for all citizens. These will be systematically planned and implemented as the 100-day plan, the one-year plan, and the five-year plan.

Myanmar had faced political changes even before the global COVID-19 pandemic, which began in early 2020 and lasted until late 2022, had fully ended. In succession, we also endured severe natural disasters. In addition, domestic farming, livestock, and production costs have sharply increased due to insufficient electricity and restrictions on raw material imports. Security challenges and the opening of illegal gates on routes have driven up transport costs, causing commodity prices to rise significantly, which the entire population has had to bear.

In politics, national unity among the people has broken down, and due to ongoing conflicts, the country faces numerous security challenges. There is a strong desire among the entire population to live in peace. The People’s Pioneer Party will prioritize reducing conflicts and promoting durable peace so that people can live securely and peacefully. Amid these conflicts, employment opportunities for young people have also become scarce, leading many to migrate from rural areas to cities or even abroad in search of work.
Esteemed people, our People’s Pioneer Party has presented three sections of the 2025 election manifesto.

(a) First, to improve the income and employment opportunities for all citizens, we will simultaneously work to quickly reduce commodity prices – a major challenge affecting people’s livelihoods – while also striving in a balanced way to increase incomes and job opportunities. This includes making it easy for unemployed youth to find work, coordinating with employers to ensure all basic workers receive fair wages for their labour, providing farmers with quality seeds, technology, and loans to increase their income, and supporting the digital economy to help people earn additional income. We will also develop accessible and efficient remittance services for migrant workers and Myanmar citizens abroad to send money to their families. At the same time, systematic programmes will be implemented to provide direct support to low-income households, persons with disabilities, and vulnerable individuals. In addition, for Tatmadaw members, police, and civil service personnel who are serving on the frontlines and in conflict areas, we will prioritize providing enhanced allowances. We will establish reward systems, housing, pensions, insurance, scholarships, and other incentive schemes to ensure future security. For all taxpayers, long-term housing loan systems will be introduced to enable home ownership, along with rental housing programmes for workers. Housing projects will provide opportunities to apply for long-term housing loans, systematically increasing demand and investment in the real estate and construction sectors.

(b) In areas where natural disasters and conflicts require extensive reconstruction, we will simultaneously provide effective humanitarian assistance to affected communities and, through charitable and civil society organizations, build public trust while carrying out rehabilitation and reconciliation.

(c) In disaster- and conflict-affected areas, basic services such as schools, hospitals, and social infrastructure will be rebuilt through the Cash-for-Work and the Cash-for-Skill programmes. These initiatives will create livelihoods and employment opportunities for affected communities while supporting their resettlement and recovery.

(d) In the health and education sectors, financial support will be provided to enable reforms in healthcare services and to develop human resources. Human resource development will also be aligned with economic prospects, science, technology, and AI disciplines, approaching Industrial Level 5.0 step by step.

Esteemed people, in the second section, the following initiatives will be implemented to ensure the peace and security of the people.

(a) To ensure a ceasefire and allow all communities to equally enjoy the fruits of peace, economic linkages and transport connectivity between states, regions, and border areas will be developed to build trust among ethnic groups without causing resentment.

(b) We will manage the root causes of conflicts, seek solutions through discussions with all relevant parties, implement economic connectivity projects that support peace, modernize Tatmadaw with fully capable resources, and establish good civil-military relations.

(c) For forgiveness, no retaliation, justice, and national reconciliation, a national reconciliation programme will be established to address the sufferings and losses caused by conflicts. Cases filed unilaterally in international courts will also be responsibly managed and resolved.

(d) We will accurately promote and implement a Union that aligns with Myanmar’s specific conditions, including the teaching rights of indigenous languages, and supports the flourishing of literature and culture.

(e) We will coordinate with political partners to implement amendments to the Constitution, including Section 261 and Schedules 1, 2, and 5, establishing a functional democracy, effective public administration, a trusted rule of law, and an ethical media sector.

Esteemed people, in the third section, we aim to restore a market economy system. In this process, the government and private sectors will have clearly defined and collaborative responsibilities to ensure that every citizen’s income and employment opportunities improve, and that the nation’s living standards can compete with neighbouring countries. To enhance the national economy and achieve development that benefits everyone, the following initiatives will be implemented.

(a) To stabilize the macroeconomy by reducing rising prices and inflation, we will strengthen the value of the kyat, continue using the managed float system for foreign exchange rates based on market mechanisms, ease trade licensing, and establish legal channels for overseas remittances, implementing these measures through carefully planned programmes.

(b) To address the needs for post-conflict and post-disaster rehabilitation, the government, private sector, and international partners will collaborate to promote disaster risk management funding, plan long-term preparedness programmes, and construct resilient basic infrastructure.

(c) Support will be provided by the Hluttaw to ensure stability in budgets and monetary policies. For the private sector, red tape will be removed to allow businesses to operate smoothly, while Quick Wins programmes will be implemented to generate rapid economic results.

(d) Support will be provided for farmland ownership for every farmer, higher-yield and higher-value consumer goods, new livestock products, economic zones that reduce land investment costs, and financial programmes such as supply chain financing to support the entire value chain.

(e) Services will be provided through a one-stop service programme for business registration, capital, technology, research and development, and market linkages. Additionally, a credit guarantee scheme will be established to support bank financing and business operations.
(f) Regular public-private dialogue meetings will be organized, bringing together senior government officials, economic experts, business leaders, and successful innovators for coordinated discussions.

(g) Through independent and active foreign policy, regional connectivity, and a robust geoeconomic strategy, we will access regional and international markets while enhancing Myanmar’s global profile. At the same time, coordination will be quickly implemented to connect economic corridors across neighbouring countries and states and regions, including the Asian Expressway, the China–Myanmar Economic Corridor, and the Kaladan River Basin projects.

(h) Efforts will be made to develop green and renewable energy, advanced systems for cargo and passenger transport, secure and efficient internet connectivity, online public services and e-commerce, and to advance Myanmar’s standards in line with international benchmarks.

(i) Special emphasis will be placed on systematically extracting and producing natural products, increasing their value, and developing green-based, renewable energy production.

In conclusion, our People’s Pioneer Party will systematically implement the 100-day, the one-year, and the five-year plans. Through this structured approach, we aim to ensure the continuous, peaceful, and secure development of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
