Secretary General of the United Nations Ban Ki-moon opened today the 21st Century Panglong Conference in Myanmar, which seeks a peaceful solution to the ethnic conflict in that country.
Before nearly 800,000 participants, he described the summit as a breakthrough for peace in that country and reiterated the UN support for the process, said the Vietnamese news agency VNA.
Known as the Federal Peace Conference, the summit brings together representatives of the Government and the national army, as well as the armed opposition groups, made up of ethnic minorities.
Members of political parties and international organizations also participate in the summit, said VNA. (Courtesy of plenglish.com)
