Announcement

The Kayan Region Development Organization made peace with the Government on 27 February 1992. Since then, it has been actively carrying out regional development tasks. It also attended the National Convention. Like other delegate groups, it participated in the discussions in order that fundamental principles and detailed basic principles could be laid down at the National Convention.

As the fundamental principles and detailed basic principles have been adopted after coordination and discussions based on Myanmar’s prevailing conditions, we firmly believe that they are the most suitable for the State and the people. Our organization welcomes the Commission for Drafting State Constitution that is going to draft a constitution based on the fundamental principles and detailed basic principles.

At a time when seven-step Road Map is being implemented collectively, we declare that ours is not a follower of any party.

Our organization has expressed wishes of national races and discussed them at the National Convention. Hence, we cannot accept any offers that can harm the alreadyadopted fundamental principles and detailed basic principles and we hereby announce that we will steadfastly continue participating in the realization of the seven-step Road Map.
