Advanced negotiations are underway as preparations continue for the 21st Century Panglong Conference, the national peace talks to be chaired by State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
The main difference between the 21st Century Panglong Conference and the Union Peace Conference hosted in January by then President U Thein Sein is that Suu Kyi is trying to ensure the event she chairs will be all-inclusive.
The State Counsellor wants the participation of non-signatories as well as signatories of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement signed last October by Thein Sein’s government and eight of the 15 armed ethnic groups that had been involved in long-running peace negotiations.
