2. Secretary-1 unveils stone plaque of Union National 
   Races Village at opening ceremony 

It is the national duty for all national races to
serve Our Three Main National Causes 

The National Races Village was established with the
aim of understanding good foundations of culture,
customs and traditions of national races and further
strengthening of Union Spirit

Yangon, 28 Dec - A ceremony to open the Union National
Races Village, established by the Ministry for
Progress of Border Areas and National Races and
Development Affairs, was held at the village near
Thanlyin Bridge in Thakayta Township at 8 am today. 

Chairman of the Work Committee for Progress of Border
Areas and National Races Secretary-1 of the State
Peace and Development Council General Khin Nyunt
attended the ceremony and unveiled the stone plaque of
the village. 

Staff Officer (News/External) Daw Ling Maung Pang of
MRTV-3 acted as master of ceremonies. First, Minister
for Progress of Border Areas and National Races and
Development Affairs Col Thein Nyunt formally opened
the Union National Races Village by cutting the ribbon
carried by Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Chin, Bamar, Mon,
Rakhine and Shan national belles. 

Then, the Secretary-1 unveiled the stone plaque of the
village. The Secretary-1 then had the documentary
photo taken together with the national races in front
of the archway of the village. 

Next, the Secretary-1 cordially conversed with members
of the traditional literature and cultural troupes,
the traditional dance troupe members and national
races. 

Afterwards, the ceremony to open the Union National
Races Village was held at the assembly hall. 

Minister for Progress of Border Areas and National
Races and Development Affairs Col Thein Nyunt reported
on matters related to the Union National Races
Village. 

Minister Col Thein Nyunt delivered a speech. He said
the stake driving ceremony for the national races
village project was held on a 111 acres plot in Ward
10 in Thakayta Township at the mouth of Bago River
near Yangon-Thanlyin Bridge on 25 April 1995. Forty
percent of the project area is covered with swamps at
high tide. The amount of the earth work is great and
it is hard to grow trees because of salty water. Due
to these difficulties, the private companies failed to
implement the project. The ten acres of land for
Myanma traditional handicraft village were handed over
to the Fair Trade Co Ltd under the BOT system in
August 2000. The remaining 101 acres of the project
were handed over to Progress of Border Areas and
National Races Department. Plans were laid down and
implemented for the opening of the national races
village within two years. 

The project site is located near Bago River at 17 feet
above sea level and the type of the earth is clay
soil. The average rainfall of the year is 106". The
maximum temperature in April is about 36.7¡C and the
minimum temperature in January is about 18.5¡C. The
climate is hot and wet and mangrove trees grow in the
region. 

Small lakes similar to the famous lakes in Myanmar
were dug and roads were built and hills were created
in accord with the instructions of Secretary-1 of the
State Peace and Development Council. The 25 lakes can
store about 35 millions gallons rain water for
watering the plants. Water in the Bago River is salty
from January to May. Fresh water stored in the lakes
can be used at that time. 

The 31,487 feet canals were built in order to flow
water from Thakayta Township during monsoon and to
prevent the flow of salty water from Bago River in
summer. Four sluice gates were installed in the
embankment along the Bago River. Flowing of rain water
through the villages reduces salty rate. 

The national races village was surrounded by fences
with four gates and a 300 KVA transformer was
installed at the village. There are seven artesian
wells and seven water tanks for water supply. 

In connection with the construction of traditional
houses, the minister said there are over 100 national
races living in the country. It is a significant fact
that they have lived with fraternity and unity for
successive periods. 

It is the national duty for all national races to
uphold Our Three Main National Causes
non-disintegration of the Union, non-disintegration of
national solidarity and perpetuation of sovereignty.
The national races village was established with the
aim of understanding the good foundations of culture,
customs and traditions of national races and further
strengthening of the Union Spirit and national
solidarity spirit. One can study the customs and
traditions of polite, gentle national races at one
place. 

Traditional houses depicting the everyday life of
national races were built by national race carpenters
in February 2002 under the coordination among
organizations in the respective regions and literature
and culture committees for national races in Yangon. 

Prominent landmarks such as Htokekant ordination hall
in Rakhine Village, Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda in Mon Village,
Zwekabin Mountain in Kayin Village, Reed Lake in Chin
Village, Mt Khakaborazi in Kachin Village, Inlay Lake
in Shan Village and Taungkwe Pagoda in Kayah Village
were constructed in accord with the instructions of
the Secretary-1 during his inspection tour of the
project site on 31 August 2002. He also gave
instructions on upgrading village ring roads to
concrete ones and cultivation of local crops and
pepper. 

Visitors can study everyday life of national races at
their traditional houses. A National Race Traditional
Cultural Museum will be built for wider study of their
culture and customs. 

In conclusion, the minister said efforts are to be
made for success of the national races village
reflecting the essence of national solidarity and the
Union Spirit in accord with the guideline laid down by
the Head of State.
