 The Federal Political Negotiation and Consultative Committee (FPNCC) recently held a meeting from March 15 to March 16 in Pangkham (Pangsang), Wa State has released a statement.

 The FPNCC emphasizes that the minority ethnic peoples in our border regions, must build peace with the mainland of Myanmar and establish a federal democratic union. While there may be multiple strategies to implement this idea, ultimately the ethnic minorities must rely on their own strengths and capabilities.

 FPNCC also expressed its special gratitude to the Chinese government for providing assistance to all FPNCC members to help them overcome difficulties during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Furthermore the FPNCC stated in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic, they plan to continue working with the Chinese government to enhance stability in the border region and collaborate on various issues including health, social welfare, immigration, trade and other sectors.
