The plenary meeting of the seven Myanmar ethnic armed groups that have signed the nationwide ceasefire agreement (NCA) was held in Chiang Mai, Thailand on March 17 to discuss and approve the political proposals (draft) prepared for the new form of grouping and the constitutional rules (draft) of the new grouping, sources said.

The meeting was arranged by the National Solidarity and Peace Negotiation Committee (NSPNC), which invited all seven NCA signatories, but two of them will not attend due to internal issues.
