Arakan committee establishes 142-point agenda

The Arakan (Rakhine) State Peace, Stability and Development Committee was established on May 30 by the president as an answer to ongoing tensions and human rights concerns in the restive western state, and has been tasked with formulating development initiatives.

Headed by State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the 27-member committee held its second meeting yesterday in Nay Pyi Taw.

Amid continued pressure over conditions faced by largely Arakanese Rohingya who have seen no change to their circumstance in the first four months of the new administration, Daw Aung San Suu Kyi urged all committee members yesterday to accelerate plans to improve Arakan (Rakhine) State.
