( 1 ) Victories of Myanmar team to Asia Games will

sector 

Secretary-1 meets Myanmar sports contingent to Asian
Games

Yangon, 13 Sept - Chairman of Myanmar National Olympic
Council Secretary-1 of the State Peace and Development
Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt met with Myanmar sports
contingent to the XIV Asian Games to be held in Pusan,
Republic of Korea, from 29 September to 14 October, at
the National Indoor Stadium-1, Thuwunna in Thingangyun
Township, here at 3 pm today. Speaking on the
occasion, Secretary-1 Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt said that at
present, the State is paying special attention to
raising the glory of Myanmar through sports. 

At this time, it is a distinctive prestige for a
person who has been selected as a brilliant and
promising athlete to represent the nation in the Asia
level games. The sportsmen and sportswomen of the
Myanmar national team to the Asian Games will have to
understand that the State has assigned the classic and
profound national duty to them individually and as a
team to uplift the dignity of the nation with the
power of sports. Thus, they are urged to make
unrelenting efforts to win medals. The countries of
the world are actively taking part in the
international games, vying with each other for
superiority in the international sports sector with
the conviction "Victory in the international sport
events can enhance the status of the nation and the
people, and reflecting the ability of the national
strength". With the belief that promotion of sports
amounts to defending the country, the Union of Myanmar
is also giving greater priority to developing the
sports sector in parallel with the nation-building
undertakings. 

Famous sportsmen and sportswomen, whose victories not
only dominated Southeast Asia and Asia, but also
reached the world level games did emerge in Myanmar
during a certain period in the past. But for some
reasons, the Myanmar sports sector was away from
winning medals during the period for about a decade,
leading to lessen the degree of the public interest in
sports. But their desire for the upsurge of the sports
sector again and the sports victories never wanes even
a little. Hence, the government is striving to promote
the sports sector as a national task in accord with
the goal "Myanmar sports the world to conquer". The
people are getting in touch more with the sports
sector and their scope of knowledge becomes wider
because of the national development and the
improvement in the living standard. The people are
energetically taking part in the sports promotion as
they are vitalized with the spirit to see the Myanmar
sports entering a new era. Especially, the national
entrepreneurs whose businesses are enjoying stable
growth due to the government's assistance and
encouragement are providing assistance to promote the
sports sector with might and main as they have taken
part in helping develop the health, education, social
and religious sectors. 

As the athletes worthy of receiving the assistance
provided by the State and the people are also striving
hard, there are signs of an upturn in the Myanmar
sports. The Myanmar athletes are winning medals again
in the Southeast Asian and Asian games at present. In
addition, victories of some sports events have reached
the world level. The achievements of the Myanmar
athletes to the Asian Games will contribute to success
and progress of the nation's sports sector. The
athletes are urged to take part in the games with
relentless perseverance and firm determination for
victory, having in mind the fact that their triumph
plays an important role in developing the sports
sector. As Myanmar is taking part only in the events
which have high hopes for medals in the international
games, more attention can be paid to the sector which
is showing good results. 

Because of the efforts of the sports federations, the
athletes are able to get access to training courses
applying modern techniques and equipment, and are
being conducted by foreign instructors and to
international warming-up competitions. Of the 36
events of the 13 Asia Games, Myanmar took part in five
events, winning one gold, six silver and 11 bronze,
and secured the 20th place among the 41 participating
nations. In the present Games, the nation will compete
in 13 events out of the 38. The athletes are required
to strive to win medals with the national spirit, the
nationalistic fervour and the unyielding spirit. They
will have to nurture and improve themselves with
regular training, correct systems, skill, fitness,
discipline, sporting spirit and the national spirit. 

The managers and coaches are responsible for
protecting the athletes and uplifting their morale and
fitness. Members of the sports team will have to live
in unity, help each other and act in accord with the
traditions and culture. The Secretary-1, on behalf of
the State, thanked the national entrepreneurs,
wellwishers and sports fans for their all-round
assistance for the team, expressing belief that they
will also take part in honouring the medalists. In
conclusion, he wished the team to take part in the
competitions with firm determination and relentless
efforts to win medals; to help uplift the glory of the
nation and the people with their medals; and to bring
honour to the nation by wining victories with
discipline and fairness. 

Members of Myanmar Sports team who are going to take
part in XIV Asia Games were introduced to Chairman of
Myanmar National Olympic Council Secretary-1 of the
State Peace and Development Council Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt
group-wise. Then, the Secretary-1 presented the State
flag to leader of the Myanmar sports team Director of
the Sports and Physical Education Department U Than
Zaw, who then pledged that Myanmar sports team would
participate in the games with might and main and with
the spirit based on patriotism and uplift of national
prestige and integrity.
