MYANMAR: BAN WELCOMES CEASEFIRE AGREEMENT IN KACHINNew York, May 31
2013 10:00AMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon today welcomed the agreement
reached between the Government of Myanmar and the Kachin Independence
Organization (KIO), calling it a first step towards reconciliation in
the country.
According to media reports, the seven-point plan reached by the two
parties includes an agreement to a preliminary ceasefire. They also
agreed to establish a political dialogue and hold discussions on
resettling more than 75,000 people who have been displaced since
fighting began almost two years ago.
"The Secretary-General notes the seven point agreement as a
significant achievement that could lay the basis for a genuine process
of national reconciliation in the country," Mr. Ban's spokesperson
said in a <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6860">statement.
"He commends the leaders of both delegations for their courage and
perseverance. He also hopes this agreement will allow the two parties
to address the concerns and needs of the people of Kachin State."
This is the first meeting between the Government and the KIO inside
the country since conflict broke out in June 2011. Mr. Ban's Special
Adviser Vijay Nambiar was an observer at the talks on behalf of the
UN, along with representatives from the Chinese Embassy and Myanmar's
ethnic nationality groups.
In January, the Government announced a unilateral ceasefire following
a three-week offensive against ethnic Kachin rebels. A month later,
the parties held talks in China, where they agreed to work on an
overall framework to de-escalate the conflict.
"The Secretary-General underlines the continued support of the United
Nations and his Special Adviser to the parties as they continue work
towards de-escalating the conflict and toward a comprehensive
political dialogue that could bring lasting peace to Myanmar," the
statement said.May 31 2013 10:00AM
