 | | The coalition's statement calls on all major parties in conflict, specifically the ruling State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and its arch-opponent the National League for Democracy (NLD) to show flexibility and commitment to seek a compromise solution to resolve the country's 14-year political deadlock. |
