YANGON, July 10 (Xinhua) -- The historical office of the Students' Union of Myanmar has been reopened at the Yangon University after several decades out of operation, the Myanmar News Agency reported Monday.
However, the building of the students' union, which was located on the university campus and blown up by the then military government in 1962 amid students' political protest, is yet to be rebuilt under a future plan, said the rector of the university.
With portraits of former chairman Ko Aung San, who became national hero General Aung San, hung on the wall, the students' union office was reopened with a ceremony Sunday attended by Education Minister Myo Thein Gyi and Chief Minister of Yangon Region U Phyo Min Thein.
U Phyo Min Thein hailed the opening of the office as a sign of the nation on a further path of reform.
The Students' Union is now chaired by Ma Ei Swe Myat.
