Formal talks on Naga political issue between GoI & NSCN-IM likely to resume on August 26

GUWAHATI: Formal talks between representatives of the government of India (GoI) and the NSCN-IM over the vexed Naga political issue are likely to resume on August 26, an HT report stated.

However, sources stated that dates for resuming formal talks between the NSCN-IM and the GoI are yet to be finalised.

Sources informed that the August 21 ‘informal’ meeting between GoI interlocutor AK Mishra and NSCN-IM general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah, laid a platform for formal resumption of talks between the two sides.

These fresh round of talks between the NSCN-IM and the GoI are expected to break the deadlock in talks over the Muivah-led outfit’s refusal to compromise on its demand for a separate flag and constitution.
