Coordination is being made to hold an informal virtual meeting between the government and the NCA signatories before the formation of a new government on January 28th, said U Myo Win, Vice-Chair of the All Burma Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF).
The NCA signatories formed a coordination team at the Peace Process Steering Team's (PPST) meeting in November 2020, in order to hold informal discussions on the peace process before the formation of a new government by the NLD.
The PPST’s temporary coordination team will be led by Colonel Sai Ngin from the RCSS and comprises one delegate from each of the ten NCA signatories.
“The NCA signatories will mainly discuss how the peace processes will be resumed after the election, and the 4th round of the 21st Century Panglong Conference, at the informal meeting scheduled on January 28th. In addition to the peace process, each EAO may discuss the matters pertaining to the bilateral ceasefire agreements,” he added.
The ten NCA signatories are: the Karen National Union (KNU), the Chin National Front (CNF), the ABSDF, the KNLA/PC, the Pa-O National Liberation Organisation (PNLO), the Arakan Liberation Party (ALP), the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), the Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA), the New Mon State Party (NMSP) and the Lahu Democratic Union (LDU).
