Myanmar carries out government reshuffle 

Xinhua, Yangon, 29 October 1999....The Myanmar State Peace and 
Development Council (SPDC) carried out another government reshuffle
Friday, allowing two ministers to retire, reassigning two ministers and 
appointing two new ministers and one new deputy minister. The state-run 
Radio Myanmar reported Friday night that the two ministers allowed to 
retire are Minister of Commerce Major-General Kyaw Than and Minister 
of Sports Brigadier-General Sein Win. Former Minister of Social Welfare, 
Relief and Resettlement Brigadier-General Pyi Sone was reassigned as 
Minister of Commerce and former Minister of Religious Affairs

The SPDC appointed U Aung Htwe as the new Minister of Religious Affairs 
and Brigadier-General Thura Aye Myint as Minister of Sports. Moreover, U Myo
Myint was appointed as Deputy Minister of Electric Power. 

It is the third time Myanmar has reshuffled its government this year and is
