State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi has instructed a government-appointed peace negotiation body to invite all ethnic armed groups to an upcoming peace conference in Myanmar.
The government has been organizing the Union Peace Conference for late August, but has yet to make it clear if ethnic rebel groups that did not sign last year's Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) would be invited.
Although the conference is based on the NCA -- a historic peace deal signed by the previous government and eight rebel groups in October -- Suu Kyi is pushing to invite all stakeholders, the government-owned Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported Wednesday. (Courtesy of aa.com.tr)
