August 5th.
Myanmar.
Naypyidaw.
The Presidential Palace.
A special meeting was held here.
Kundun was delivering a speech passionately.
"Deputy Leader Ling, at the end of last month, the Myanmar Economic Zone's guarantee and commodity loan to Mozambique were explained as a means to obtain cheaper raw materials by harnessing Mozambique's mineral resources.
This time, you're preparing to loan to Cambodia, and I don't see the necessity, given that Cambodia is smaller than us. I suggest that we better focus on purchasing main minerals and raw materials domestically within Myanmar."
This would benefit Myanmar's employment situation and economic development, and in my view, the loan to Mozambique almost makes no sense; you might as well allocate this quota to us here in Myanmar."
"Employment issues can be solved through government investment; Myanmar doesn't lack money temporarily."
"We are in need of investment everywhere."
