The National Reconciliation and Peace Center (NRPC) and Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP) held a meeting at NRPC in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning, according to state media.

At the meeting, NRPC member Union Attorney General U Tun Tun Oo said KNPP signed a state level and union level agreements in 2012 and was an organisation that had maintained an almost perfect zero conflict status in the region.

KNPP Vice Chair Khu Oo Reh had participated as a leader of UNFC’s Delegation for Political Negotiation (DPN) and thoroughly discussed UNFC’s 9 point-proposal in order to continue the peace process. Although a good situation of having an agreement on almost all of the proposals was reached, there remains some that still need to be discussed and thus KNPP was unable to sign the NCA and had been continuing discussion with the government.

Agreement was reached to hold another meeting before end of April.
