NSCN (I-M), NNPGs to form Council of Naga Relationships & Cooperation

Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) have agreed to form the Council of Naga Relationships and Cooperation (CNRC).
This was agreed at a meeting held in Kolkata on October 17 and 18, 2022 under the initiative of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR).
A joint statement signed by NSCN (I-M) vice president Tongmeth Wangnao and NNGPs WC convenor N Kitovi Zhimomi stated that the two groups, with a renewed spirit of commitment, met in response to the Naga people’s yearning for reconciliation and unity in purpose.
“Taking forward the September Joint Accordant’s resolve ‘to chart a path forward’, we have agreed to form the Council of Naga Relationships and Cooperation led by the Convenor of NNPGs and Chairman of NSCN to explore, at the earliest, realistic ways for Nagas to move forward on the basis of Naga historical and political rights,” declared the joint statement.
Further, understanding the urgency to rise above their present condition, the NNPGs and the NSCN affirmed to commit themselves to the “values of Truth, Forgiveness, Justice, and Peace as the discerning power to help us choose a shared future over the divisions of the past.”
The two groups have urged the Naga public to jointly participate and support “this process of shaping and building this future together.”
