Myanmar carries out government reshuffle
Xinhua, Yangon, 29 October 1999....The Myanmar State Peace and
Development Council (SPDC) carried out another government reshuffle
Friday, allowing two ministers to retire, reassigning two ministers and
appointing two new ministers and one new deputy minister. The state-run
Radio Myanmar reported Friday night that the two ministers allowed to
retire are Minister of Commerce Major-General Kyaw Than and Minister
of Sports Brigadier-General Sein Win. Former Minister of Social Welfare,
Relief and Resettlement Brigadier-General Pyi Sone was reassigned as
Minister of Commerce and former Minister of Religious Affairs
Major-General Sein Htwa as Minister of Social Welfare, Relief and
Resettlement.
The SPDC appointed U Aung Htwe as the new Minister of Religious Affairs
and Brigadier-General Thura Aye Myint as Minister of Sports. Moreover, U Myo
Myint was appointed as Deputy Minister of Electric Power.
It is the third time Myanmar has reshuffled its government this year and is
also the sixth time since the country formed the SPDC which replaced the
former State Law and Order Restoration Council on November 15, 1997.
