20-year National Strategy endorsed by the NLA

13 Sept 20:25 Key points summarised by AI

The National Legislative Assembly (NLA) unanimously approved a legally binding 20-year National Strategy, effective until 2037, for all government agencies and public organizations.
The strategy outlines six key areas: national security, competitiveness enhancement, social equality, human resources development, green growth, and public sector development.
Government agencies must comply with the strategy's master plan and budget allocations, with oversight by the National Strategy Committee and potential notification to the National Anti-Corruption Commission for non-compliance.
The national strategy faces significant criticism from political parties, who view it as a tool to ensure the military junta's prolonged stay in power.
