Centre begins talks with NSCN(I-M)

New Delhi Sept. 17. The two-day crucial peace talks between the Union Government and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (Issac-Muivah) to discuss various issues, including alternative proposals in lieu of the rebel group's demand for a `Greater Nagaland', began today in Amsterdam, nearly two months after the ceasefire was extended by another year.

This round of talks, fourth since January when the NSCN (I-M) leaders visited India, is considered important as some headway on the vexed issue is likely.

The issue continues to be the biggest impediment in the successful conclusion of the peace talks aimed at ending the five-decade-old insurgency in Nagaland. In fact, during the last round of talks in Bangkok in July, the Naga leaders made it clear that their visit to India later this year, would be contingent upon a "tangible" progress in the talks.
