There are some people who point out that the discussion that makes both sides convenient should be conducted and those who are asking what could be the discussion that could make both sides convenient as well.
Th discussions must be conducted step by step, chairman of the PNLO-NCA/S, an NCA signatory, Col. Khun Okkar told CNI News.
" Political dialogues can be held in different forms. It can be conducted step by step. But the way everything that is mixed up can't be. We'll have to start the things that are possible for both sides to agree. Especially, it will be easier to start discussing with EAOs and EROs. And then, the NUG/PDFs will be discussed with. Otherwise, we have to talk through delegates. If we can choose the UN or China or the ASEAN or Thailand as a mediator, we can be convenient. Without overcoming these steps, it's very difficult to make the general election that will be held next year arise." he said.
When these steps only have been overcome already, common political agreements are reached and election must be supported as a political exit of the entire country, pointed out military and political analysts.
The UN's Special Envoy to Myanmar, Ms. Julie Bishop met and discussed with Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the State Administration Council (SAC) in Naypyidaw, she said at the UN Assembly on 29th October, 2024.

She urged the Myanmar's neighboring countries and the ASEAN to use their influence on Myanmar and implement the five point consent as well as urged Myanmar to lead and find an answer to the conflict at the UN Assembly.
All the stakeholders must think about beyond the layout in which one side must beat its rival decisively, expressed Julie Bishop.
Generally, although the means that made both sides convenient was the election democratically, all the armed organizations needed to take part in the election, Director of the Thayninga Institute for Strategy Studies, U Thein Tun Oo told CNI News.
" Considering generally, the means that will make both sides convenient, according to the path of Myanmar currently going, if we want democracy, we have to go there through the election. The UN says diplomatic speech. One side must not beat the other decisively. But all the armed organizations need to want to take part in the election, which is important. If they walk on the path of democracy, they'll have to run the election. And then, they can rule their own region. According to the constitution, matters relating to territory, natural resources, development and so on can be carried out only at the Hluttaw. But if armed means is used, the means that can be resolved can't easily emerge at all without bloodshed or casualties." he said.

If the armed means was being used without accepting the invitation to political dialogues, it would be almost unlikely to arise the election or an answer that could make both sides convenient, said political analysts.
The SAC was making preparations in order to be able to hold a free and fair multi-party democratic general election in 2025, said Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing, chairman of the SAC.
At present, armed conflicts are taking place across the country while there are territorial instabilities and has no rule of law. So, it is said that it is less likely to be able to hold the election.
So, the SAC needed to attempt to end armed conflicts and to have territorial stability and rule of law so that the election could be held, said political parties.
