Naga leaders accept invitation for talks in India NEW DELHI, India, Sunday (AFP) Separatist guerrilla leaders from India's northeastern state of Nagaland agreed at peace talks in Thailand to travel to India for future negotiations with the government, a report said. Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh invited the Naga leaders, some of whom are in exile, in a message delivered at the talks in Bangkok, the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency reported. "The talks went off very well and we have accepted the prime minister's invitation to visit India," a member of the rebel delegation told PTI. Dates had not been fixed for the visit but it was likely to be during mid-November or December, said the member, who did not want to be identified. The government and National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) negotiators were due to issue a joint statement after further talks on Saturday. The NSCN's two exiled leaders, Thuingaleng Muivah and Isak Chishi Swu, were to be joined at the talks in Thailand by 10 of the group's Nagaland-based leaders, a spokesman for the Isak-Muivah faction told AFP this week. |
