Shwe Phee Myay, Mar 31

The United Wa State Army (UWSA) issued a statement on Monday, congratulating General Ye Win Oo on his recent appointment as the new Commander-in-Chief of the Myanmar Defence Services.

According to the official statement, the handover ceremony for the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services was successfully held on March 30, 2026. During the event, the former Commander-in-Chief, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, formally transferred his military responsibilities to the Commander-in-Chief (Army), General Ye Win Oo.

The announcement noted that the Central Committee of Wa State Party (WSP), the Wa State Government, the Wa State United Army Headquarters, and the local ethnic population extended their congratulations and best wishes to the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief.

The statement highlighted General Ye Win Oo’s extensive experience in the field of defense and his high level of accountability. It further expressed confidence that, under his leadership, the military will strengthen national security and continue to work toward sustainable peace and development.

General Ye Win Oo previously served as the Chief of Military Security Affairs (C-in-C of Military Intelligence) and is widely recognized as a top loyalist and confidant of Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.

Following the 2021 military coup, he served as the Joint Secretary of the State Administration Council (SAC) and played a central role in both political and security affairs.
