And it is implementing the seven-point Road Map for the nation’s future and its long-term interests. The National Convention, the very first and most important step of the programme, is now well under way.

The National Convention, the first phase of the seven step Road Map, has already been reconvened for three times. And it will resume on 10 October 2006 at Nyaunghnapin Camp, Hmawby Township.

At the upcoming National Convention the reports of the Panel of Alternate Chairmen on the proposals of the respective delegate groups and some delegates to the National Convention held from 5 December 2005 to 31 January 2006 will be presented.
