Myanmar's ethnic armed groups are edging closer to participating in the planned peace summit at the end of next month. The Union Peace Conference was proposed earlier this year by the country's civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi in an attempt to bring together all ethnic groups and with the military and the government to lay the foundations for a re-invigorated peace process -- which would in turn lead to creating a democratic and federal state, bringing lasting peace to the country.
Increasing rapprochement between the country's top army chief, Snr Gen Min Aung Hlaing, and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi has raised hopes that the military -- which many ethnic leaders accuse of dragging its feet -- has formed a new working relationship which augurs well for the success of the peace process.
