As today is the age of globalization and information technology, the country's constitution would be perfect to a certain degree, and according to nine years of democratic experience, there might be some constitutional provisions requiring amendment, said Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Commander-in-Chief (Army) Vice-Senior General Soe Win. 

The deputy military chief made the remark during his opening speech at the Joint-Ceasefire Implementation Coordination Meeting held in the National Reconciliation and Peace Centre in Nay Pyi Taw on January 8. 

"Nothing is perfect. This is why the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services has talked about the constitutional amendment in accord with Chapter 12 of the Constitution," Vice-Senior General Soe Win said. 

He said the Republic of the Union of Myanmar is marching towards the 10 years of democracy in 2020. 

"Despite nascent democracy, the constitution enacted in 2008 has guaranteed in nine years equal rights, equal tasks and responsibilities, and equal power-sharing," he said. 

Thanks to the constitution, there were almost no undemocratic practices or deviation from democracy, he commented.
