       The Binlong Conference specially set up the 3+4 talks. Among the seven ethnic local armed forces that have not signed a national ceasefire agreement with the government, the De ‘ang ethnic armed forces, the Kokang Allied Forces and the Rakhine ethnic armed forces, which have not been officially recognized by the government, and the UWSA, the Kachin Independence Army, the North Shan Army and the Fourth Special Zone of Shan State, which have been recognized by the government, have all started direct dialogue with the Myanmar government and military.

       Jiang Zhiming, the representative of the peace talks in the Fourth Special Zone of Shan State, said: "We feel that all of us have come here to work together for peace in Myanmar. This is a successful start."

       Zou Mo, vice chairman of Kachin Independent Armed Forces, said: "At present, we believe that the most important difficulty to be overcome in the peace talks is to reach mutual understanding, the second is the difference between the two sides in defining some concepts, and the third is how to sign a national ceasefire agreement. I believe that only by solving these three difficulties can the peace talks continue to advance. "

       This series of talks is an important impetus to the realization of peace in northern Myanmar, which indicates that the Myanmar government has taken an important step in building a peace system in northern Myanmar. In order to realize this round of dialogue, the Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China went to various places to assist in communication and mediation, which played an important role in the success of the conference.

       Sun Guoxiang, Special Envoy for Asian Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, said: "This time, the number of ethnic minorities from the north is the largest, so they also expressed their aspirations and hoped to have more contacts with the government and the military. We hope to see the increase of such contacts and mutual trust. China will, as always, continue to play the role of persuading and promoting talks and help them build a platform for communication. "
