Myanmar State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi on Tuesday met with representatives from ethnic armed groups involved in peace talks to discuss how to move forward with national reconciliation.
Suu Kyi, who is also Myanmar's Foreign Minister has proposed a '21st century Panglong Conference' for late July with all ethnic militants - including at least four which have still not signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) adopted in October 2015, EFE News reported.
The Panglong Agreement was first signed in 1947 between the Burmese government and Shan, Kachin and Chin minorities to grant "frontier areas" occupied by minorities autonomy under an arrangement with the federal government. (Courtesy of firstpost.com)
