Kohima: The National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Khaplang (NSCN-K) (AM) met with Myanmar’s National Solidarity and Peacemaking Negotiation Committee (NSPNC) in Nay Pyi Taw on October 22. The talks took place at the Grand Amara Hotel. Both sides reviewed political goals and development projects.
NSPNC chairman Lt-Gen Yar Pyae noted the group already holds a bilateral ceasefire agreement. He invited the faction to present specific needs for healthcare, education, and transport. The committee also pushed for strict oversight of armed group members to protect the peace process.
U Ann Mai, chairman of the NSCN-K (AM), attended the summit after asking to join national peace efforts. He praised the meeting as a path forward. He stated, "the political dialogue as an important milestone towards sustainable peace." He pledged to boost local socioeconomic conditions.
The two parties weighed a formal proposal to the Hluttaw. They want to expand the Naga Self-Administered Zone by adding more townships under the 2008 Constitution. Discussions also covered upgrading village tracts to towns and building better roads. NSPNC secretary Lt-Gen Min Naing demanded closer cooperation on regional security. The meeting ended with signed records, gifts, and a vote of thanks.
