"When the PPST was formed, 10 NCA signatories joined the team. Peace processes were implemented step by step. After political changes took place in february 2021, some members of PPST reduced their member status. So, seven members of PPST took part in peace talks since 2022 as each group and as three in one group.But today for many reasons, as our five groups only, we have taken part in discussion, maintaining collective discussion policy" said Col.Khun Okka, leader of 5 group delegation on 26th June.
They were presenting and discussing for the collective policy laid down by 10 members of PPST and not the policy of their five groups, said Col.Khun Okka.
