State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has taken a leading role in trying to build internal peace, a task she pledged in January would be the “first priority” of her incoming National League for Democracy government.
Suu Kyi is working on convening the 21st Century Panglong Conference as soon as possible, reorganising the Myanmar Peace Center, which was established by former President U Thein Sein and has been re-christened the National Reconciliation and Peace Centre, and appointing NLD government representatives to the Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee.
The UPDJC was created under the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement signed last October by the Thein Sein government and eight armed ethnic groups to draft a framework for political dialogue. It includes representatives of the government, Tatmadaw, the eight NCA signatories and political parties. (Courtesy of frontiermyanmar.net)
