Led by State Counselor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, the Peace Center oversees the government’s peace negotiations with various ethnic armed groups that are fighting for equality and self-determination.

Peace talks have been postponed until the end of this month as Myanmar has restricted all mass gatherings in line with global measures to fight the spread of the coronavirus

Col. Htein Lin became restive Rakhine State’s minister for security and border affairs—a military-appointed position—under the U Thein Sein administration. In July 2017, one year after the National League for Democracy assumed power, he returned to his military duties. He is also a former military-appointed Upper House lawmaker.
