( 1 ) National races to refute slanders with practical
drug eradication projects

Ambassadors, diplomats of foreign missions and local,
foreign journalists visit eastern and northern Shan
State

Yangon, 14 March - The ambassadors and diplomats of
foreign missions in Myanmar and local and foreign
journalists left here for Monghsat on 11 March to
study the border area development and narcotic drug
elimination tasks in eastern and northern Shan State.
The team was accompanied by Joint Secretary of Central
Committee for Drug Abuse Control Police Col Kham Aung.
In Wanhon region, members of the team visited the
Wanhon model farm covered by the opium substitute-crop
cultivation project. Wa national race leader U Pau Yu
Yi, liaison officer U Khin Maung Myint and others
explained drug elimination and opium-substitute crop
cultivation in the region. They said regional
development task has been implemented with the help of
the government since restoration of peace in 1989.

At the same time plans have been laid down to
eliminate the drugs. Plans are under way to strive to
declare the whole Wa region an opium free zone by the
year 2005. Efforts are being made to wipe out the
narcotic drugs in addition to the opium.
Opium-substitute perennial crops such as logan, orange
and coffee have been planted in the region. Paddy has
been cultivated on reclaimed land. The region is now
enjoying food sufficiency. Arrangements are being made
to extend rice cultivation. Despite the efforts to
wipe out the drugs, some foreign media are launching
slanders against the Wa region. They will refute the
slanders by practically implementing the drug
eradication projects in accord with the guidance of
the State. They replied to queries asked by diplomats
and journalists.

On arrival at Mongla, the team members were welcomed
by Vice-Chairman of Shan State (East) Special Region 4
U Hsam Lu and national race leaders. General Secretary
U Min Ein of the region told them that regional
development tasks have been carried out with the help
of the government since peace has been  restored in
1989. At the same time drug elimination plans have
been laid down and implemented. Mongla has been
declared " Opium Free Zone " in 1997. With the revenue
from the lawful business such as gem and mineral
mining and tourism, the region is implementing the
transport, education and health projects. In Kengtung,
team members attended the dinner hosted in their
honour by CCDAC. They also enjoyed the traditional
dances presented at the dinner.

 Two ambassadors presented flower baskets to the dance
troupes. The next day, they visited the weaving
training school in Kengtung. In Mongpok, they visited
the UNDCP opium-substitute farm project. U Chin Yon
and Project Coordinator Mr Xavier Bouan said the
project stared in 1998. Efforts to reduce poppy
cultivation and develop opium-substitute crop
cultivation in southern Wa region has been made since
1994. The project covers the tasks to cultivate paddy
and tea and to conduct livestock breeding, health care
services, water supply and road constructions.
Construction and maintenance of roads and vaccination
projects have been explained with the help of
audio-visual aids. On arrival at Pansang, they were
welcomed by Leader of Wa Special Region 2 U Pau Yu
Chan and party. Luncheon was hosted in honour of the
guests at Mayzin Hotel. U Pau Yu Chan explained
cultivation of opium substitute crops for eradication
of narcotic drugs in Wa special region He said that Wa
region was dominated by BCP for 20 years, and as a
result, it lagged behind in development.

 After separating itself from BCP in 1989 and making
peace with the Government, it has worked for regional
development. The Government has also provided
assistance for economic, industrial and mining work.
Realizing that cultivation of opium has only an
harmful effect on all mankind, it is working to put an
end to cultivation of opium by 2005. At the same time,
in the education and health sectors, schools,
hospitals and clinics are being built. There were only
20 primary schools 13 years ago, and now there are 289
primary schools and 20,754 students. There were only
four hospitals and clinics previously, and now there
are 20 hospitals and 160 clinics. Seven hydro-electric
power stations have been built and 13,900 kilowatt of
electricity can now be generated.

 Therefore, the entire Wa region has got electricity.
As there is power, industries have been established. A
cigarette factory, a tin refinery and a gem polishing
workshop have been built to augment the income of
local people. To better the condition of transport in
the region, 3,000 kilos of roads have been built.
Thirty bridges have been constructed. Fallow and
virgin lands are being reclaimed, and paddy has been
cultivated on about 4,000 acres of land. There are
8,900 acres of rubber, over 1,300 acres of tea plants,
6,600 acres of other crops and 160,000 teak plants.
There are one pig farm and one poultry farm in
Tachilek. Now the income of the people has increased
by 30%. Industries and livestock breeding work have
been introduced gradually to reduce cultivation of
opium, thereby putting an end to it by 2005. Strenuous
efforts will be made to achieve this end. Efforts to
eradicate narcotic drugs are making progress to some
extent, and all should provide assistance instead of
making critical remarks.

Then, he replied to the queries raised by the
ambassadors and the correspondents. Later, they went
to the cigarette factory and Honepan Distillery by
car. They also visited Lonhtan Tin Refinery and
