The formation of the “Political Coordination Body (PCB)” was announced on the morning of 31 March, with the goal of resolving the country’s fundamental issues and building a federal democratic union. After consultations that began in 2023, the body was officially established on 20 February, to collaborate with groups and individuals who share similar policies.

The PCB has issued a nine-point position statement calling for the immediate and unconditional release of all detained political prisoners, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Win Myint. The spokespersons for the PCB include U Sai Nyunt Lwin, the Chairman of the Shan Nationalities League for Democracy (SNLD), U Mya Aye, a leader from the 88 Generation student movement, and U Thar Tun Hla, a politician from Arakan.

The statement also urges all relevant parties to recognize and guarantee the freedoms of expression, writing, and association. It demands an end to forced recruitment and conscription.

Moreover, the PCB emphasizes the need to avoid military actions that could lead to civilian casualties, refrain from targeting public buildings, halt actions against civil servants participating in the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), and remove restrictions hindering citizens’ livelihoods and freedom of movement.

Additionally, the PCB advocates for political dialogues involving all relevant stakeholders to address the nation’s critical problems. It also includes a commitment to cooperate with ASEAN, the United Nations, neighbouring countries, international governments, and organizations to ensure the success of these political dialogues.
