Citizenship verification continues in Rakhine State

Myanmar will continue carrying out the citizenship verification process in Rakhine State in accordance with the 1982 Citizenship Law, said Union Minister for the State Counsellor's Office Kyaw Thint Swe while explaining the government's 100-day plan.

The Rakhine State Peace, Stability and Development Implementation Central Committee has been formed under the chairmanship of State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi. The committee is subdivided into four working committees.

"Members of those committees have paid visits to Rakhine State. We are also visiting the area to learn the real situation and to compile a priority list. Currently, we are prioritising the peace issue and the issuance of national identity cards. Meanwhile, we will continue the citizenship verification process in line with the Citizenship Law," said Kyaw Tint Swe. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
