Ethnic leaders meet as ceasefire signing deadline looms
Leaders of some 20 ethnic armed groups from Myanmar are due to meet in Chiang Mai today amid divisions over whether to sign a nationwide ceasefire agreement with the government.
Pu Zing Cung, general secretary of the Chin National Front and a member of the groups’ negotiating team, told The Myanmar Times on 27 September that the focus of the talks would be the issue of three allied armed groups involved in fighting in Shan State.
