DIMAPUR, MARCH 16
Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) said today that whilst it acknowledges difficulties in the past of groups honouring commitments, it is utterly determined to do all in its humble capacity to ensure that the Church and civil society statement is implemented in letter and spirit. “After meeting with Church and civil society leaders from March 9 to 11 that resulted in the statement ‘Taking
Responsibility for Nation Building’, the FNR met with NSCN/ GPRN and GPRN /NSCN,” the FNR statement said.
“We are very much encouraged by the support expressed by both groups for the approach to sovereignty expressed in the civil society statement,” it added.
Their joint support provides an excellent basis for moving forward in the wider conversation as proposed in the statement, the FNR also said.
According to the statement, all agreed that the statement will open the way for both groups to respond positively to future invitations to participate in the broader civil society conversation as proposed in the Statement.
The groups also expressed their commitment to find a way of coming together in their search for a way forward.
“We are glad to note that ongoing conversations between the ‘Naga political groups’ are already taking place and will continue,” it added.
