Aung San Suu Kyi, chair of the National League for Democracy (NLD), said she would restart the peace process in an effort to persuade other groups to sign the ceasefire.
Speaking on the Radio Free Asia programme, ‘Rough Journey to Democracy and Aung San Suu Kyi’, she said: “We will have to negotiate from the beginning in order to lay down the political framework for the nationwide ceasefire. We will continue carrying out the tasks of the Myanmar Peace Centre, but some will have to be changed. We would like to tackle the peace process as early as possible. We want to move quickly towards ensuring a smooth transfer of power so that we will be poised to tackle all the issues when we are in government,” Suu Kyi said.
She added that the NLD would have to work hard for the ethnic minorities and peace must be given priority in addition to regional development in matters like education, health and social welfare.
