Peace activists held mass rallies in support of the upcoming government-led Union Peace Conference (21st Century Panglong) in Yangon yesterday, local media reported.
The activists called for support of the peace conference and an end to armed conflict. The activists also signed a petition for the peace conference, which would be presented to the Pyithu Hluttaw, the United Nations and international agencies.
The government has scheduled the peace conference to be held in late August.
