The secretaries of groups scheduled to attend the Union Peace Conference agreed to discuss five topics at the country’s first political dialogue following a two-day preparatory meeting at the Myanmar Peace Centre (MPC) yesterday, the Global New Light of Myanmar reported on 7 January.
The five agenda items include political issues, economic issues and social issues, security and land and natural resources. The stakeholders used the two-day pre-meeting to prepare for the discussion, said U Aung Naing Oo, a programme director at the MPC.
The first session of the Union Peace Conference will be held at the Myanmar International Convention Centre II and will run for five days, from 12 to 16 January, in Nay Pyi Taw.
