 Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services, received a delegation of ethnic armed organisations who attended the third session of the Union Peace Conference-21st Century Panglong at Bayint Naung Guest Hall in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday afternoon.

Gwan Maw.

During the meeting, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said he is, “glad to exchange views with ethnic races; everyone is needed to practise according to the democratic norms because we are now marching toward a multi-party democracy system, all are needed to work with heart and soul, the state is regarded as parents and our Tatmadaw and ethnic armed organisations can be looked upon as children. Thus it is needed to consult with brotherly spirits, and to build the union based on democracy and federalism, through thick and thin.” Among the topics discussed were the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) and the peace process.

Similarly, Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services Senior General Min Aung Hlaing received the Special Envoy of the Government of Japan and the Chairman of Nippon Foundation Mr. Yohei Sasakawa at Bayint Naung Guest Hall in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday evening.
