PaO National Liberation Organization (PNLO) has issued a statement promising to make efforts for Shan State to become an autonomous state sharing equal rights with others by building unity among all national races living in the state.

The statement including the party’s objectives was issued on March 8 which fell on the 71st anniversary of PaO National Day.

It also includes the party’s continued cooperation in implementing the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement and Myanmar’s peace process with the aim of seeing lasting peace.

PNLO is committed to making cooperative efforts together with its peace partners in adopting basic principles on building a democratic federation union.

One of the future programmes to be carried out by PNLO is social security and development.

The party will try to shape national politics by building PaO national unity and hold a national convention.   

Together with seven other ethnic armed organizations, PNLO signed the NCA on October 15, 2015.
