KIA Rejects One-to-One Peace Talks With Myanmar Junta

The Kachin Independence Organization/Army (KIO/KIA) will not enter political dialogue with the regime unless other revolutionary groups, including the National Unity Government (NUG), are included in talks, Kachin Independence Council (KIC) Vice Chairman Gun Maw said on Monday.

The KIC is the administrative arm of the KIO, overseeing the KIA and all departments.

Lt-Gen Gun Maw made the remarks in a virtual address at a ceremony marking the 65th anniversary of the Kachin Revolution, held in the US state of Texas on Monday.
