Myanmar government’s peace negotiator, Minister of Rail Transport Min talks as General Saipo from KNU looks on during news conference after signing ceasefire agreement in Hotel Zwekabin in Pa-an
The Myanmar government's peace negotiator, Minister of Rail Transport Aung Min (L) talks as General Mutu Saipo from the Karen National Union (KNU) looks on during the news conference after signing a ceasefire agreement in Hotel Zwekabin in Pa-an, Capital of the Karen State in eastern Myanmar January 12, 2012. Myanmar's government opened peace talks with the Karen National Union (KNU) on Thursday to try to end the country's longest-running rebellion as part of a drive to strike ceasefire deals with all its ethnic separatist groups. Both the government and the 19-member KNU delegation were optimistic that deals could be reached later in the day on three key areas on the agenda, which would be a small step towards the lifting of two decades of Western sanctions on Myanmar.
