Third day of National Level Political Dialogue for Shan State

April 25, 2017

A paper-preparing committee combined the papers submitted by representatives from political parties, the self-administered regions and zones according to set frameworks and rules into three state level papers — one political paper, one paper on the economy, one paper on land and environment — and these three papers were read out on the third day of the National Level Political Dialogue for Shan State.

Afterward, member of Peace Commission and economist Dr. Aung Tun Thet explained “Business for Peace”.

Shan State Chief Minister Dr. Lin Htut said that during the three days of national-level political dialogue for Shan State, representatives from political parties and political organisations, the self-administered regions and zones, districts and business persons read out 57 papers. The proposals and recommendations of this dialogue will be sent to the Political Discussion Work Committee, the Work Committee on Economy and the Land & Environment Work Committee of Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong through the Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee (UPDJC) and will be submitted to Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong for discussion.

He advised those attendees to prepare suggestions for future political dialogues as the national level dialogue is a continuous process and will not end with this one. Collected and consolidated thoughts, views and aspirations of the people from national level political dialogues were submitted to Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong for further discussion in order to build a federal democratic Union that ensures democracy, equality and self-determination rights.
