Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, Chairman of the State Security and Peace Management Commission, stated that efforts will continue to achieve peace for the development of the people and the nation.
He made these remarks during a Financial Commission meeting held on March 6, 2026.
Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said, "National unity is extremely important for the stability of the country and the rule of law. Therefore, it is necessary for all ethnic people to hold onto mindfulness and wisdom, stand firmly on the path of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), and strive together to achieve eternal peace. Only when peace is achieved can the country develop and the socio-economic lives of the people improve. Thus, we must continue to strive for peace for the development of the people and the State."
In Myanmar, the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) was signed on October 15, 2015, by the Restoration Council of Shan State (RCSS), Democratic Karen Buddhist Army (DKBA), KNU/KNLA Peace Council (KNU/KNLA-PC), Arakan Liberation Party (ALP), Pa-O National Liberation Organization (PNLO), Karen National Union (KNU), Chin National Front (CNF), and All Burma Students' Democratic Front (ABSDF).
Later, the New Mon State Party (NMSP) and Lahu Democratic Union (LDU) signed the NCA on February 13, 2018.
Currently, the KNU, ABSDF, and CNF have declared that the NCA is void, withdrawn from the agreement, and are engaged in active fighting with the Myanmar military.
Similarly, the NMSP, LDU, ALP, and PNLO have split into two factions.
Furthermore, groups such as the UWSA, NDAA, SSPP, TNLA, MNDAA, AA, KIA, and KNPP have stated that they cannot sign the NCA.
Beyond the NCA framework, there are groups like the Shanni Nationalities Army (SNA), Kuki National Army (KNA), Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA), National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), and Arakan National Council (ANC), as well as the PDF organizations that emerged after February 1, 2021.
