The Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong will be held in late April or early May, according to the 7th Joint Implementation Coordination Meeting (JICM) on the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement held in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday.
The decision was made at the meeting held at the National Reconciliation and Peace Centre in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday, which began with a greeting by State Counsellor
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
In her speech, the State Counsellor, in her capacity as the Chair of the National Reconciliation and Peace Centre, called on participants to dare to dream for a peaceful federal Union.
“I believe that those who are here don’t want their grandchildren to grow up in surroundings which are not at peace. So, to all those delegates who are here who have a strong desire for peace, nothing is better than peace. To build development, we need peace,” she said.
She also urged the participants of the meeting to take part in the discussions with confidence.
