3 - During September this year, a workshop on Myanmar Ethnic Rights Strategy and discussion of future work plans was held where the first draft of “Myanmar ethnic rights strategy” was produced based on the discussions by representatives of relevant government Ministries, Regional/States, Self-administered Regions/Areas, Parliament, and NGOs. - We hope that the implementation of the strategic plan will reduce uneven development rates between different ethnic groups, end the armed conflict, support national peace and establish a Democratic Federal Union. ****
