A meeting to form the organizing committee was held by the CNF and the United Solidarity and Development Party, the Chin National Party, the National League for Democracy (Chin state), the Shalom Foundation, Hakha Youth Organization, and local civic groups. Rual U, a representative of the Chin Peace and Tranquility Committee, and members of the media also attended.

“We formed an organizing committee to facilitate talks between the central government and the CNF for the Chin people. The committee was created so that people can participate in Burma’s transition to democracy,” said Pu H.C Ral Hnin, a member of the CNF supreme council.

Salai Van Chan Ceu from the Shalom Foundation was selected as the Coordinator of CNF’s organizing committee, and Pu Chan Hrem was made Assistant Coordinator. The committee was established with a dozen members of various social groups and political organizations, said a local.

The USDP will send a representative to the organizing committee after the party’s committee meeting. The Chin state NLD could not sent a representative.

Organizing committees were formed in Matupi and Than Tlang Town in Chin state, where CNF’s liaison offices are located, and organizing committees for public consultation will be formed in Falam, Mindat and other towns around the state.

CNF authorities will begin to hold public consultation meetings with Chin people in other townships this month.
