Statement on Burmese military government asking ceasefire groups and political organizations to against political dialogue called by Daw Aung San Suu

Date: November 16, 2007

From NMSP

We believe that Burma's political problems can only be solved through political dialogue.

Therefore, we established a ceasefire-agreement with the Burmese military government.

We have submitted our proposals on ethnic nationalities' rights in past sessions of National Convention, but our proposals have been rejected and ignored by the Convention.

Thus, we reduced our participating in the National Convention from sending full representatives to observers.

We support Daw Aung San Suu Kyi's statement called for political dialogue in Burma.

We will closely observe what would happen in reality.

We strongly also believed that political dialogue could only be meaningful if all ethnic nationalities are included.
