YANGON, April 27 (Xinhua) -- The Kayinni National Progressive Party (KNPP), one of the remaining armed groups in Myanmar negotiating peace with the government, agreed on Friday to continue efforts for the signing of the Nationwide Ceasefire Accord (NCA) with the government.

According to a joint statement of the Myanmar government's Peace Commission and the KNPP following two-day peace talks in Loikaw, Kayah state, KNPP agreed on some undertakings to be carried out in a short-term period before it reaches the stage of signing.

KNPP is the third armed group negotiating with the incumbent government for joining the ceasefire pact after the New Mon State Party (NMSP) and the Lahu Democratic Union (LDU) entered the NCA on Feb. 13.

NCA was initiated with eight armed groups on Oct. 15, 2015 during the previous government tenure. As a follow-up, two meetings of the 21st Century Panglong Peace Conference were held in August 2016 and May 2017, respectively.

The second meeting of the peace conference was able to incorporate a total of 37 adopted principles into a union accord in the country's peace process.???
