State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi will discuss peace initiatives with the Union-level Cease-fire Joint Monitoring Committee (JMC) today, according to a Global New Light of Myanmar report quoting Lt-Gen Ya Pyayt the chairman of the Joint Monitoring Committee.
The meeting will continue today, 27 April, for the second day with Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who will lead the new government’s peace initiative and is in attendance to discuss guidelines and procedures relating to the Union-level ceasefire agreement, added Lt-Gen Ya Pyayt.
The Union-level JMC was formed with the eight ethnic armed groups that signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement with the government on 15 October 2015.
There have been three occurrences of armed skirmishes between the eight ethnic armed organisations and Myanmar Army since the signing of the NCA, said Lt-Gen Ya Pyayt.
