YANGON, July 31 (Xinhua) — Myanmar's National Defence and Security Council on Thursday formed a new union government and a National Security and Peace Commission, state broadcaster MRTV reported.

The Union Government is headed by Nyo Soe as Prime Minister and the National Security and Peace Commission is led by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the statement said.

According to the report, the National Defense and Security Council also decided to cancel the order to transfer powers to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

Myanmar State Administrative Council spokesman Zaw Min Tun said on Thursday that the National Defence and Security Council had decided to lift the state of emergency to hold a general election.

In February 2021, Myanmar's then-acting President Myint Swe declared a one-year state of emergency and handed over supreme power to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces subsequently formed the State Administrative Council, chaired by Min Aung Hlaing. Myanmar's National Defense and Security Council has repeatedly extended the state of emergency for six months, until July 31 this year. –0–
