Myanmar President U Thein Sein on Saturday pledged to try his best to form the new government and smoothly transfer power to it.

Every government should take into consideration to have continuous success in transforming the democratic process and development in a calm and peaceful manner, Xinhua quoted U Thein Sein as saying in his message to the country.

He urged all stakeholders to participate in the peace process, underlining that implementing a framework for political dialogue which is to be set up soon is being drafted by a special dialogue framework drafting committee.

The remaining ethnic armed groups which have not participated in signing the Nationwide Ceasefire Accord (NCA) were needed to take into account the people's lives in conflict areas, he said.

"It is needed to take lesson from the recent tragedy accident with massive death as a giant amount of dump soil from jade mining collapsed in Phakant of Myanmar's Kachin state, by revising the policy laid down for such risky work sites in the country," the president said.
