Ceasefire reached in Shan (North)

Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun, SAC Information Team Leader, said yesterday that a temporary ceasefire had been reached between Tatmadaw and three groups of the Northern Alliance in northern Shan State and that they would continue to take necessary measures to strengthen the ceasefire.
Tatmadaw and three groups of the Northern Alliance met and discussed in Kunming, China.
“With the mediation of the People’s Republic of China, Myanmar’s National Solidarity and Peacemaking Negotiation Committee met three groups of the Northern Alliance in Kunming. The meeting resulted in reaching an agreement for a temporary ceasefire. We will continue to discuss,” he said. China-mediated meetings between these two sides have already been held twice in Kunming.
Five members of MNDAA, seven of ULA/AA, and seven PSLF/TNLA members reportedly attended the meeting along with the Chinese special envoy.
“We will continue to take necessary measures to strengthen the ceasefire. Afterwards, we will hold bilateral negotiations with the Chinese counterparts to enable reopening the border trade posts,” said Maj-Gen Zaw Min Tun. — Thit Taw/ZN
