Non-ceasefire signatories invited to join Panglong preparations

Dr Salai Lian Hmung of the preparation committee for the so-called 21st Century Panglong conference says non-signatories of last October's ceasefire will be invited to help set up this month's summit.

The decision would be approved on August 15, he said. The event is due to be held on August 31.

Salai Lian Hmung said: “We agreed to reform the preparation committee for Panglong to involve the non-signatories. We believe the Union Peace Summit [Panglong] will be successful. It is satisfying that it involves ceasefire signatories, non-signatories, political parties, the government and military. Discussions of the political framework are almost complete. Discussions will continue after the event.” (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
