US EditionThe Head of Myanmar's Army-Backed Government Proposes New Peace Talks with Armed Resistance Groups
The invitation follows battlefield gains and a 100-day program focused on peace, stability and development, state-run media reported.
- On Tuesday, President Min Aung Hlaing invited armed resistance groups to fresh peace talks, marking his first such call since taking office earlier this month as part of a 100-day program.
- The invitation follows a nationwide civil war that intensified after the military's 2021 takeover, when ethnic armed organizations escalated their decades-long struggle for autonomy.
- Min Aung Hlaing explicitly invited the People's Defense Force to "enter the legal fold," extending the offer to both Nationwide Ceasefire Agreements signatories and non-signatories.
- Opposition spokesperson Nay Phone Latt rejected the move, calling invitations "fake," while the Ta'ang National Liberation Army expressed interest in peace talks last Wednesday.
- The military government regained the upper hand in mid-2025 following China-brokered ceasefires with major rebel groups, though conflict continues to affect most of the country.
