UNA leaders to attend peace summit

Leaders of the United Nationalities Alliance (UNA) have decided to attend the Union Peace Summit scheduled for January 12 despite the absence of several members.

The meeting, chaired by Aye Thar Aung, executive council member of the Arakan National Party (ANP), sought approval for the nationwide ceasefire agreement and to attend the Union Peace Summit.

Aye Tha Aung said: “The summit will not be perfect as non-signatories to the ceasefire will have no chance to attend."

Political dialogue will start on January 12 and come to an end on January 22.

Only eight armed groups will attend the meetings. The remaining groups will be invited as "special guests". (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
