2.Moreover, as the accomplishment of restoring the enduring peace is a must for the State, the Central Committee on National Unity and Peacemaking, the Work Committee on National Unity and Peacemaking and the National Unity and Peacemaking Coordination Committee were constituted in order to soonest hold the dialogues on the peace process with ethnic armed organizations, some of which have signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement and some of which are still holding talks to sign NCA.

During the period when the Tatmadaw further ceases military operations, concerted efforts should be made for restoring the enduring peace through negotiations.
