Dimapur, November 8, 2019:

After concluding the over 22 years of endless and protracted negotiations on October 31,

the government of India and NSCN (I-M) would be meeting in New Delhi Saturday to work on the “loose ends” before concluding the ongoing Naga Peace Process.

Earlier, Ravi has said that “some loose ends” have to be tied before reaching a "final agreement" to the decades-old negotiations between the two sides, which began in 1997.

Ravi has also made it clear that it would be premature to set a time-frame for concluding the Naga Peace Process.

However, Ravi has asserted that all negotiating parties (government of India, NSCN (I-M) and WC of NNPGs) would strive to conclude the Naga Peace Process as soon as possible.
