Following this, U Khun Ye Htway, Chairman of the Pa-O Self-Administered Zone administration body, presented a brief overview of the region, and U Myint Tun, Chairman of the Management Committee of Hopong Township, shared information about Hopong Township.
Subsequently, attendees, including millers, coffee growers, livestock breeders, and butter producers, along with village-track officials, discussed sector-wise requirements and challenges. The state chief minister coordinated the points raised.
The meeting concluded with a closing speech by the SAC member, and grants were disbursed to departments in the Pa-O Self-Administered Zone. The state chief minister provided food supplies to local militia members of Long Hkok and Pawng Lin, while state ministers awarded funds to ethnic literature and culture troupes.
