The State Peace and Development Council adheres to Our Three Main National Causes in its bid to achieve national reconsolidation and equitable development of all parts of the nation. As a result, armed groups underground come to understand that the government shows benevolent attitude and that they are going to the wrong way. And they are exchanging arms for peace.

In Southern Command region yesterday, 11 members led by Saw Kyaw Kyaw Htet from KNU/KNLA exchanged arms for peace, bringing together with them two carbines, one 9mm pistol, a long barrel rifle, a short barrel rifle, a hand grenade, three magazines, 29 rounds of ammunition, and three walkies talkies. Officials concerned gave them a warm welcome and provided assistance and aid. There are more armed group members who want to exchange arms for peace.
