Three programs for peace will be implemented effectively and harmoniously to establish a democratic federal union in the post-2020 period, State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi said in her message to mark the fifth anniversary of the signing of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA), Xinhua reported.

Suu Kyi, in her capacity as chair of the National Reconciliation and Peace Center, said that three programs -- national reconciliation and internal peace, democratic transition and establishment of a federal union, and implementation of the program for amendment of the Constitution will be implemented during the post-2020 period.

Under the programs, negotiations will be conducted with non-signatory Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) to reach ceasefire agreements and to bring them to the political negotiations while efforts will be made with increased momentum to consolidate the ceasefire agreements with NCA signatories.
