The purpose of attending the peace meetings was to find a way to continue to hold on to the power he held. The northern groups also want the liberation of their region at the very least.

The army will not compromise on this. If, for example, I respect the Myanmar national flag, If we don't deal with the NUG, which is currently in opposition to the Tatmadaw, it could happen. I don't see that the status quo will become accepted by all. After that, who will be named, China and Both Burmese and All three of them (the three northern teams) will be hurt.”
