The New Mon State Party (NMSP) plans to commence a meeting today at the party’s headquarters in Bee Ree River, Ye Township, Mon State, to review and discuss recent developments in the political situation in Burma before the party decides about entering into new ceasefire talks with the Burmese government, according to Mon sources.

Mon sources said that the meeting will last about three days, and will include both executive committee members and regular committee members of the NMSP.

“We heard that government officials have contacted UNFC, the United Nationalities Federal Council. This is why they [NMSP] are holding the meeting now, before the government goes to all members of the UNFC for peace talks with the government,” said a Mon source who refused to be named.

Meanwhile, the NMSP is going to hold the eight conference next month, which is normally held every three years to elect new leaders within the party, as well as to review and discuss the political role and the future working plans of the party.
