He added that defence services personnel representatives are attending the two houses of the Myanmar and regional and State legislatures in accordance with provisions of the constitution of Myanmar.
He explained that the Tatmadaw (Armed Forces) were systematically participating in the endeavours for establishment of a discipline-flourishing, modern and developed democratic nation which is the primary goal of the nation, and various countries recognize the participation of the Tatmadaw.
