Ceasefire monitoring committee meets without new govt

The main committee monitoring last year’s nationwide ceasefire accord is set to resume its work in Nay Pyi Taw today but without any representatives of Myanmar’s new government.

Members of the Union-level Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) said its two-day meeting would go ahead and that it was likely that delegates appointed by the former military-backed government would attend the talks.

Observers of Myanmar’s stalled peace process say structures put in place by former president U Thein Sein are ticking over pending an announcement by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi of how her government intends to proceed. A government spokesperson said over the weekend that a public statement revealing the new policies will be announced “very soon”. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
