NSCN leaders to hold talks with Centre’s representatives

Kohima, July 15: NSCN-IM leader Thuingaleng Muivah and other senior members of the group will hold talks with Centre’s representatives towards finding a negotiated settlement to the protracted Naga political conflict.

Accompanied by senior functionaries of the group, Muivah left for New Delhi this afternoon for the parleys responding to the invitation of Centre’s interlocutor R S Pandey during the last round of talks.

Before leaving, Muivah told newsmen at Dimapur airport that no dates had been fixed so far but hoped the dialogue would commence soon between the NSCN-IM leaders and the Centre’s representatives.

Muivah, who wrapped up his nearly one-and-a-half-month -long peace mission with the last public meeting at Jalukie under Peren district yesterday, described his journey as “successful” since he received overwhelming response from the Naga people wherever he went.
