Wa ethnic armed group who are based in Wa Special Region-2 in northeastern Shan State has come up with an ceasefire agreement to further strengthen their cooperation with Myanmar’s central government.
The central government’s peace representatives spearheaded by U Aung Thaung and the chairman of Wa group U Pauk Yu Chang had their second peace talk agreement which was held in Pansan, Shan State last Monday, Xinhua, the Chinese News Agency reported.
It was agreed upon that it will continue to talk about the involvement of Wa groups in parliamentary affairs under six terms and conditions which will be signed after their meeting, according to Xinhua reports.
In the agreement it also compromises both the central government and the Wa group to help support in the maintenance of security and defense.
Another agreement is that the government will extend and exhaust all possible services whether long and short term aid in Wa region in terms of their socio-economic development, human resources development as well as their health and education, the report said.
The first peace talks by both sides were held in Lashio, the northern Shan State last October. Their agreements which was signed include the reopening the office of health and communication and education. Others indicated the cooperation on eliminating the use of illegal drugs, to encourage the development of border areas and to render basic economic necessities, it said.
Shan State (North) Special Region-2 is the place where the United Wa State Army (UWSA), under U Pauk Yu Chang was housed after it returned to government in May 1989.
Wa group is one of the five peace groups that did not agree on the call of the government to transform border guard forces which is under its control.
With the government’s attempt to promote peace in the entire region, Wa leader made remarkable pronouncement on all anti -government ethnic groups who are armed to join for peace talks and to put an end to all violence and hostility and to promote and encourage peace pact in the country.

It has been pleasure that ceasefire agreement had been done and now we
could expect our country as a peaceful Myanmar. Without having peace I
am certain that no country would change the effective political mood.
What we seeing now is what we are believing and hopefully we can move
on to the Democracy route eventually. I am aware that it does not make
it easy-going path of changing one system to the other however we have
no alternative option to improve the country and the citizens of
Myanmar. We must definitely start from the zero constrution unit , to
be able to build a high-fly policy in the country. I am sure nobody on
earth is wishing to turn around to previous system and agenda as we
had already went through but it did not make any benefit the citizens
of Myanmar. Therefore we must look forward the brightening future of
our country that is never too late either. We want the country like
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in the brave World. Please keep writing
and reading.
A very Happy New Year to all readers and the news team of BETWEEN.
