Burma’s Ex-VP Hopes New Government Will Bring Peace

 A successful peace process will depend on the efforts of the new National League for Democracy-run government, said the ethnic Shan Sai Mauk Kham, former vice president of Burma and former chair of the Union Peace-making Working Committee, on a visit to Shan communities in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on Thursday.

Currently a Lower House parliamentarian representing Lashio for the Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP), Sai Mauk Kham expressed his sympathies for the thousands who have been displaced by fighting among the Burma Army and multiple ethnic armed groups, which continues in the Shan State.
