Tatmadaw has strictly followed the NCA signed on 15 October 2015 and made efforts following the policy of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services “Tatmadaw will strictly abide by the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement in restoring the perpetual peace that is needed for the country and people”.
The State Administration Council prioritizes peace processes and sets the five-point roadmap and nine objectives.
Therefore, it is here urged the ethnic armed organizations whether they sign the NCA or not to stop acts that affect the State stability, development, lives and properties of national races while the entire people face the impacts of COVID-19. If some commit any actions to destroy the stability of the country and socio-economic status of people, Tatmadaw will keep conducting the necessary security measures.
