THE opening ceremonies for the People’s Military Service Training 10 were held at various military commands yesterday.

The Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, region and state chief ministers, commanders, and relevant officials attended the events, greeted trainees and presented cash prizes and ma­terials to them.

The People’s Military Ser­vice Law was enacted as every citizen is under a duty to safe­guard Our Three Main National Causes: Non-disintegration of the Union, Non-disintegration of national solidarity and Perpetua­tion of sovereignty. The People’s Military Service Law was enact­ed on 10 February 2024 aiming to conduct military training cours­es. The first intake commenced on 8 April 2024, and the tenth intake is now underway. Those who have completed the Peo­ple’s Military Training are cur­rently serving in various military units, fulfilling their responsi­bilities for national defence and security. — MNA/KTZH
