The Irrawaddy Times July 8th ‎ Yesterday, July 7, a business coordination meeting was held in Myitkyina to speed up the propaganda work of the elected government regarding the Irrawaddy Myyitsone-Myit Nya River basin hydropower project, which is being protested by the entire public. At the meeting, the Prime Minister of Kachin State, U Khe Thinnan, said that the Department of Information and Public Relations (Re/Cont.) In cooperation with the local committees, he urged the public to hold face-to-face meetings and educate the public using media methods. Currently, the government of Kachin State is holding secret meetings with the Chinese delegation for the resumption of the Myitsone project. Last June 23, during a meeting with local residents in Moyyin Township's Salgum village, the Myitsone project will be completed within the next 8 or 8 and a half years and spread the news. "When plans for the Myitsone Dam were first discussed, I myself opposed this project in the Union Hluttaw. Now I regret doing so. If we had continued with this project at that time, instead of facing power outages, we would have enjoyed houses with good lighting," the Kachin Prime Minister of the elected government told Kachin residents. Despite China's efforts to restore the Myitsone project, on June 4, Typhoon Mess hit China, causing a medium-sized dam in Nanning, Guangxi Province to break. In addition, with the possibility of other dams breaking, Chinese authorities have set the emergency response to the highest level. Currently, in China, people are facing floods due to dams breaking, so the people are more worried about the construction of a dam on the Irrawaddy River, which is the lifeblood of Myanmar. Researchers have pointed out that the military group wants to start the Myitsone project to solve the debt due to their self-interest and military spending, and the country will not benefit from the economic benefit of the project, but the people of Burma and the locals will only face environmental damage and negative effects. After President-elect U Min Aung Hlaing visited China last June 15, accompanied by Kachin Prime Minister U Khe Thin Nan, propaganda began to restart the Myitsone project.
