The meeting between the National Solidarity and Peacemaking Negotiation Committee (NSPNC) and the Shan State Progress Party (SSPP) was held yesterday morning at the Shwe San Eain Hotel in Nay Pyi Taw.
During the meeting, Chairman of the NSPNC Lt-Gen Yar Pyae stated that the National Solidarity and Peacemaking Central Committee, Working Committee, and Negotiation Committee were reconstituted on 11 April 2026 to effectively and successfully implement the national solidarity and peacemaking process under the newly elected government that emerges following the multiparty democratic general election.
He also said that invitations had been extended to hold discussions without any preconditions, that a peace process framework based on the “NCA Plus” model was being planned, that a mechanism should be established and implemented to monitor and prevent online scam-related activities, that he wished to maintain continuous contact to strengthen cooperation in the government’s ongoing initiatives, and that the SSPP delegation was urged to openly discuss their plans and approaches regarding the peace process.
Following that, SSPP Vice-Chairman 2 Sao Khun Seng stated that peace is essential, that they have consistently advocated a political solution to political problems, that priority would be given to discussing practical and achievable matters, and that trust would be built by learning from past experiences.
Afterwards, the attendees engaged in discussions on the emergence of a Union based on democracy and a federal system that guarantees equality and self-determination; on drawing lessons from past events that undermined trust and ensuring that such incidents do not recur; on cooperating with the government in combating online scams and narcotics; on assisting in regional development; on continuing bilateral cooperation to prevent armed clashes that could undermine peace; and on actively participating in the process of building a Union based on democracy and a federal system.
Subsequently, NSPNC Secretary Lt-Gen Min Naing explained issues related to regional development raised by the SSPP, the outcomes of previous bilateral meetings with the SSPP, as well as the situation on the ground and military-related matters. In the afternoon, the attending delegates discussed and coordinated efforts to resolve political issues strictly through political means rather than armed conflict; achieve self-determination based on equality; amicably settle any disputes that may arise between the two militaries through meetings and negotiations; ensure that online scams and drug-related activities do not occur in the region; cooperate to promote regional stability and development to build sustainable and lasting peace; maintain and consolidate the peace achievements already attained; and review and monitor existing bilateral agreements and the ceasefire status. They also discussed the formation of a multi-organization committee capable of promptly addressing issues related to narcotics, online gambling, online scams, and territorial encroachments.
Following that, SSPP Vice-Chairman 2 Sao Khun Seng delivered a vote of thanks, after which NSPNC Chairman Lt-Gen Yar Pyae delivered the closing remarks, and commemorative gifts were exchanged before the meeting was successfully concluded.
