Wa rebels meet NLD in Panghsan

A United Wa State Army (UWSA) leader has confirmed that the group met National League for Democracy (NLD) representatives in Panghsan, northern Shan State, on April 28.

Xiao Ming Liang, vice-chairman of the UWSA in Panghsan, led the Wa delegation but the group refused to give further details. Win Htein, a central executive member of the NLD, said no one had been sent to meet the Wa but added that the party had many members.

The long-time personal physician to State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, Dr Tin Myo Win, attended the Joint Ceasefire Monitoring Committee in Nay Pyi Taw on April 28 and is being tipped as a future peace negotiator.

The UWSA said it had already agreed a ceasefire with the previous government although it did not sign the national ceasefire agreement last October. (Courtesy of Eleven Myanmar)
