"1. Currently, Burma is in a dilemma over how to tackle the peace related issues, including the meeting ? to be attended by Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, State Counsellor Mrs. Aung San Suu Kyi and leaders of the 10 ceasefire signatory groups ? which has been scheduled to be held in Nay Pyi Daw on October 15.
