Moscow, September 25, 2025 - Myanmar's Acting President, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, who is also the Chairman of the State Security and Peace Commission, urged Myanmar students studying in civilian universities in the Russian Federation to work towards the widespread use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Myanmar's agriculture sector. He made these remarks during a scientific workshop held in Moscow on September 25.

The Senior General, who is on a working visit to the Russian Federation, spoke at the workshop titled "Youth and Future Myanmar – Science and Technology," which was held at the Radisson Collection Hotel in Moscow.

He stated that while efforts should be made to apply AI technology in education, healthcare, and transportation sectors, it is especially crucial for the agriculture sector, as Myanmar is an agriculture-based country. The Senior General encouraged the students to work towards the widespread application of AI in this field.

He also urged them to work effectively towards national and socio-economic development through the advancement and application of AI technology.

Furthermore, the Senior General emphasized the importance of developing nuclear technology in Myanmar and using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
