It was necessary to compromise politically by giving some incentives to armed organizations in order to stop armed conflicts, chairman of the Arakan Front Party (AFP) Dr. Aye Maung told CNI News.
Suspension of armed conflicts was needed to win political goals and it would be necessary to compromise beyond the 2008 constitution, he said.
" Because a political displacement didn't arise, armed organizations arose. Armed revolution is to push politics. Only if armed conflicts can be resolved, political goals can be reached. So, political give and take are needed. So, we must be able to persuade armed organizations. It might not be convenient under the 2008 constitution. So, beyond the 2008 constitution, what kind of self-administration and self-determination will be offered? How will natural resources be allocated? What kind of new nation will be built with what kinds of compromises? These are incentives. How shall we persuade them to make them come to peace talks?" said Dr. Aye Maung.
A temporary ceasefire agreement was reached between the Myanmar Tatmadaw and the MNDAA with China's brokered engagement.

A video clip in which an administrative official from the MNDAA said that Kutkai, Theinni, Kunlong and Laukkai Districts had been officially designated as the Kokang Special Region-1 and officially granted self-government on the Chinese New Year Day, went viral on social media.
Although the TNLA and the Myanmar Tatmadaw met and discussed with China's brokered engagement, the discussion ended without any results and it would discuss again, reported the TNLA on 19th February 2025. Moreover, the AA and the SAC would meet and discuss in March with China's brokered engagement, according to those close to both sides.
All the leaders were invited and a discussion should be held to think over for the country and the people, vice chairman of the National Democratic Force Party (NDF), U Htet Aung Kyaw told CNI News.
" They have said that they will build a federal democratic union. It's necessary to negotiate carefully this time. The country has never been in such a bad situation. All the leaders should reconsider the country's situation for which all-inclusive discussion should be held. To tell you frankly about the current situation, all the leaders seem to be delayed to discuss. They have become warlords and are focusing on their interests. But the people are getting into trouble. County leaders, especially the main leader, have to think about it more." he said.

The AA has said that it wanted the confederation at least and at most the AA has a goal to build the Rakhine country while general secretary of the TNLA Maj-Gen Tar Bone Kyaw urged his people to get ready because the Palaung country would be built if needed.
In the same way, because ethnic groups would have thoughts that would be more than federalism in 2025, said Lt-Gen Gun Maw of the KIA during his meeting with Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing and Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.
EAOs should not demand what is impossible and they must negotiate what should be, said the SAC Chairman Sr-Gen Min Aung Hlaing on the plane which returned from Russia and Belarus on 9 March 2025.
