The Interim Chin National Consultative Council (ICNCC) organised an online ceremony to celebrate the 75th annual Chin National Day on 20 February 2023.

Various dignataries and officials gave online speeches, including the National Unity Government (NUG) in exile’s Acting President Duwa Lashi La.

In his speech, he said: “Since ancient times, the Chin nation has been an independent nation practicing its customs and laws and governing its lands. In the past, they [the Chin] bravely defended their land against the Imperialist English with any kind of weapon and many heroes emerged. Chin National Day exists because the Chin people love federal democracy.”

Amongst the others who gave online speeches to mark the occasion were the event’s chairperson Salai Lian Luai, NUG ministers and representatives of the Committee Representing the Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH); the National Unity Consultative Council (NUCC); the Committee Representing the Chin State Hluttaw (CRCH); Chin Township administration officers and Chin leaders abroad.

There were also songs from Chin artists, including the singer Thawnkham and the group Guys from Chin.
