SENAPATI, Jun  21: United Naga Council (UNC) has welcomed the formation of Core Committee on the Indo-Naga Political issue by the Nagaland Government under the initiative of Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio to resolve and to strengthen the ongoing negotiations between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM).
UNC said it "hopes and earnestly prays" that this Core Committee will be able to intervene and forge the long and frequent stalemate in the negotiation between the two parties. "It is our sincere belief that the honourable members and representatives of the different political parties in the Core Committee will put their best efforts in the interest of entire Nagalim, with the spirit and soul of the Uniqueness of the Naga history and situations and in tune with the agreed Historic Framework Agreement signed on August 3, 2015 in New Delhi to co-exist peacefully as two separate entities", it added.
UNC said it is fully convinced and confident that the Core Committee members will look beyond their personal interest and groups and politically respond to the call of the Nagas.
 UNC proposed that an elected member each from Assam, Arunachal and Manipur  be included in the Core Committee, for better co-ordination, but only if the criteria of the select committee permits. UNC added that the scheduled meeting of June 19, 2021 which was postponed, be rescheduled at the earliest possible and to back  the ongoing talk process.
