The United Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC) plans to hold another summit to find common ground among all ethnic armed groups in the run-up to the 21st Century Panglong Conference to be hosted by the government.
Htun Zaw, secretary of the UNFC—an alliance of ethnic armed groups that opted out of signing last year’s so-called nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA) with the Burma Army—said that the eight groups that signed the NCA will also be invited to join the summit.
“It is better for us to facilitate the ethnic armed groups’ discussion [of] issues first among themselves before we go to the Panglong Conference,” said UNFC Joint-Secretary Htun Zaw. (Courtesy of irrawaddy.com)
