Rebels still waiting for Panglong invite

The government is yet to invite the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and Arakan Army (AA) to attend next week's Panglong conference, according to Colonel Tar Phone Kyaw, general secretary of the TNLA, on August 25.

“The TNLA is ready to participate in the 21st-century Panglong conference. But, there was no official invitation from the government,” said Tar Phone Kyaw.

MNDAA and AA have also said they wish to participate in Panglong on August 31.

“We have had no negotiations with the government’s commission but only discussed it with other armed groups. We have had no direct discussion, only via other groups,” said Tar Phon Kyaw. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
