鲍有谊和赵忠丹会见登盛

　　据掸邦先驱新闻社，7月11日，缅甸政府首席和谈代表昂明在会见克伦民族联盟和南掸邦军的代表时，对外公开表示，希望佤邦能够参与签署全国停火协议。

　　此前，佤邦和孟拉都认为它们已经和缅甸政府签署过和平协议，没有必要重复签署，它们愿意直接参加接下来的政治进程。但昂明说这两者是完全不同的，言下之意即原来签的协议可能不如现在的全国停火协议那么有用。

　　昂明身边的另一个缅甸官员补充说，如果佤邦和孟拉没有签署全国停火协议而参加到政治进程当中，那将起到一个非常不好的作用，其它很多民族武装可能会效仿他们，我们不应该让这种事发生。

　　昂明说已经将缅甸政府的这个意愿转达给了佤邦政府。

The United Wa State Party/Army (UWSP/UWSA) should be one of the signatories of the planned Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), said U Aung Min, Vice Chairman of the Union Peacemaking Work Committee (UPWC) on Saturday, 11 July, while meeting representatives of the Karen National Union/Karen National Liberation Army (KNU/KNLA) and Restoration Council of Shan State/ Shan State Army (RCSS/SSA) at Myanmar Peace Center (MPC) in Rangoon.
President Thein Sein and Bao Youri of UWSP/UWSA meets in Kengtung, 8 May 2015. Satanding behind Bao is Zhao Zhongdang, UWSA deputy commander-in-chief.

The UWSA and its closest ally National Democratic Alliance Army (NDAA) have so far maintained that as the ceasefire which was concluded in 1989 is still observed by both sides, there is no need to sign the NCA. Both say they are waiting for the political dialogue to start so they can join it.
But U Aung Min says the NCA is not just about ceasefire. “It also includes sections on political dialogue, federalism and the Unlawful Association Act (better known as Section 17/1)” he told the Shan and Karen representatives. “Only by signing the NCA, these guarantees could be fulfilled.”
An MPC official added, “If the Wa are allowed to take part in the political dialogue without signing the NCA, then it is likely other groups may also follow suit. How can we let that happen?”
The UWSA, since 1993, has been calling for a separate statehood and NDAA for a Self-Administered Zone (SAZ) status.
U Aung Min said a union minister had been assigned to talk with the Wa leadership. No details were given.
