Naga rebels’ Indian problems block peace role

A delegation from the preparation committee for the so-called 21st-Panglong Conference and National Socialist Council of Nagaland – Khaplang (NSCN-K) met in Yangon on July 2 with the rebel group saying it will only attend the conference as observer and not be involved with political talks.

Dr Tin Myo Win, chairman of the preparation committee, said: “The NSCN-K signed a state-level ceasefire agreement with the government in April 2012. They will attend the union peace conference and all will cooperate for peace. We are inviting all groups to be involved.”

Ann Kant, who led the delegation from the Indian border, said: “We will attend the conference as an observer but we will not be involved in the political talks. We will work with the government help to establish peace and stability.” (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
