“The position of the government, hluttaw, and the Tatmadaw agencies have been obtained after they discussed in respective sectors based on the points that were previously collected from the dialogues, points obtained from the Mon national-level political dialogue and points that were submitted from the CSO Forum,” he said.
The preparatory meeting for the third session of the 21st Century Panglong Conference was held at the National Reconciliation and Peace Center (NRPC) in Naypyidaw on June 21 to review the outcomes from the discussions held by the government, hluttaw, and the Tatmadaw in respective sectors.
“Ten policy proposals have been received in the social sector. All ten polices are complete. [Proposals] have been submitted for political and economic sectors. I was told that one or two papers will also be submitted. The outcomes will contribute to the third session of the 21st Century Panglong,” said U Jimmy from the government’s group of people who deserve to attend the conference.
