All EAOs invited to Diamond Jubilee Union Day celebration, preliminary peace talks
Published 7 February 2022

The State Administration Council (SAC) made an announcement on February 6 inviting all ethnic armed organizations (EAOs) to the grand ceremony of the Diamond Jubilee Union Day as well as the pre-coordination meeting on perpetual peace talks to build the Union based on democracy and federalism during the ceremony of the Diamond Jubilee Union Day, State-run newspapers reported.

The SAC has invited all the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) signatories and non-signatories, except those declared as terrorist groups.

The announcement says it is necessary to focus on the perpetual peace by seeking solution through negotiation in accord with the democratic practices in order to solve the political problems politically that have existed in successive eras as internal affairs of the country.

The SAC also urges the entire ethnic national people to negotiate all stakeholders to attend the free peace talks without preconditions and the Diamond Jubilee Union Day for restoration of the perpetual peace of the government.

The announcement points out that although Myanmar has regained its independence for 75 years, the strengthening of sovereignty and development of the nation do not have improvement as expected due to occurrences of internal armed conflicts and the country loses the strength and capabilities. It is necessary to restore the perpetual peace to apply these strength and capabilities for the State development at full capacity.

Restoration of the perpetual peace is very important for building the Union based on democracy and federalism.

The statement says the majority of political parties focused their discussions on construction of the Union based on democracy and federalism within five years.
