Myanmar's leader, Aung San Suu Kyi in her role as state counsellor, is taking concrete steps to kick-start the country's beleaguered peace process and will address a newly appointed peace committee later today. Everything has been in abeyance, since eight ethnic groups signed a national ceasefire agreement (NCA) with the Thein Sein government last October, but some eight others refused to participate.
But before convening this new committee, which will oversee the peace talks and political discussions on making Myanmar a federal state, she had several secret meetings with four senior representatives of the military, including the army chief, Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing. (Courtesy of bangkokpost.com)
