MNDAA Delegation Holds First Senior-Level Talks in Naypyidaw Since 2023 Offensive

A Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) delegation held talks on September 24, 2026 with the junta's National Solidarity and Peace Negotiation Council (NSPNC) in Naypyidaw — the first senior-level MNDAA visit to the capital since the Three Brotherhood Alliance's October 2023 Operation 1027 offensive, and arriving nearly two months after the end of Min Aung Hlaing's 100-day peace initiative. Discussions covered union preservation, federalism-based governance, inclusive peace dialogue, and reopening border trade; the MNDAA delegation sought formal designation of its Kokang-area territory as a 'Special Region.'
