A delegation led by Rio and members of the Parliamentary Advisory Committee met the Nagaland Governor to discuss a renewed push on the stalled Naga peace process.
New Delhi – Senior politician Rio, accompanied by members of the Parliamentary Advisory Committee (PAC), held talks with Nagaland Governor Prof. Prof. (Retd.) R.N. Ravi in Kohima on Thursday. The meeting focused on reviving stalled negotiations between the Indian government and Naga insurgent groups, aiming to bring both sides back to the negotiating table.
Both sides acknowledged the recent uptick in confidence‑building measures, including the release of political prisoners and the establishment of a joint monitoring mechanism. Rio emphasized the need for a clear roadmap and urged the governor to facilitate direct dialogue with Naga leaders.
The governor, in turn, reiterated the central government's commitment to a peaceful resolution and promised to coordinate with the Ministry of Home Affairs to ensure that any agreements are implemented swiftly. Observers noted that the meeting signals a renewed political will to address the decades‑long conflict in the Northeast.
Stakeholders from civil society and local communities were not present, but the PAC members indicated that future consultations will include broader representation to sustain the momentum of the peace push.
The outcome of the talks is expected to be reflected in upcoming policy briefs and could shape the next phase of the Naga peace framework, which has been under negotiation since the 2015 Framework Agreement.
