Suu Kyi tells peace talks to prioritise politics

The government has an emphasised political and security affairs during the 21st-century Panglong Conference to make a peace process more effective.

The conference is scheduled for late July.

The Panglong Agreement was reached in Panglong, southern Shan State, between Aung San and the Shan, Kachin, and Chin peoples on February 12, 1947. The agreement accepted "full autonomy in internal administration for the frontier areas" and envisioned a federal union. It is celebrated in Myanmar as Union Day each February 12.
