| With Mr. Aung Naing Oo (Social Sector Development) at Union Peace Conference in 2017 |
The secretariat of the Union Peace
Dialogue Joint Committee (UPDJC) has proposed July 11, June-2018 as the starting date for
the long-waited upcoming third session of the 21stCentury Panglong Peace
Conference, which is national level Conference, and unveiled a tentative
schedule for a five-day meeting. I (Aung Myint Thu) has been supporting UPDJC
of EAOs (Ethnic Armed Organizations- signatories to the NCA), especially at
Social Sector Development- as well as the team leader of the Social Sector
Development Sector of Arakan Liberation Party, not just for itself development
but for being ready to summit at Union Peace Conference. Currently, Arakan
National Dialogue has not been allowed to hold. Last month, I also participated
as the facilitator at Social Sector Development at Arakan National Stakeholder
Consultant Meeting/Dialogue, held in Maesod, Thailand.
According to U Zaw Htay, spokesman and
director general of the President’s Office telling reporters in Naypyitaw, Myanamr, after a
meeting of the UPDJC secretariat that the plan would be approved by the UPDJC
on Friday, June 29. Throughout this week, the UPDJC secretariat and the working
committees on each sector — political, social, economic, land and environment
and security — will discuss details of each issue.
The NLD-led 21st Panglong conferences
have been conducted twice, in August 2016 and May 2017. The original plan was
for the Union Peace Conference (UPC) to meet every six months but the
gatherings have been postponed several times and the negotiators have tried to
overcome the deadlock by leaving out the key federal principles or the “package
deal on autonomy, the drafting of state constitutions and non-secession, of the
conferences.
When the government
spokesman told Irrawaddy News, he said “In
the political sector, even though the key political package will not be
included, we will focus on the rights of minorities and gender equality as
agreed in the informal meetings. The government will invite the
United Nations and international observers as well as national observers and
non-signatories of the NCA to the conferences.”
We will follow the framework to hold
the conferences, as agreed at the second session (last year), and the
non-signatories will be invited as special attendees, [who would have an
observer role],” said Khun Myint Tun, the vice chair of the PaO National
Liberation Organization, a signatory to the NCA and a member of the UPDJC.
The current non-signatories
to the NCA are the Karenni National Progressive Party, Kachin Independent Army,
Shan State Progressive Party, United Wa State Army and Mongla’s National
Democratic Alliance Army, Arakan Army, Ta’ang Nationalities Liberation Army,
Kokang’s Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army and the National Socialist
Council of Nagaland-Kaplang.
However, U Zaw Htay said
further discussion were needed on whether to invite three active armed groups:
the TNLA, AA and MNDAA, which are all based in Shan State in northeast Myanmar.
“We will invite the rest of the non-signatories [which
are recognized by the government and Tatmadaw]. But we will not invite the
Arakan National Council, a member of the United Nationalities Federal Council,”
added U Zaw Htay.
