As an organisation representing the Eastern Konyak community in Myanmar, EKU said it attached great importance to people-to-people contacts, cultural exchanges, regional connectivity and constructive cross-border engagement.
It observed that stronger social, cultural and institutional cooperation among communities across the international boundary could contribute to mutual understanding, regional peace, shared prosperity and inclusive development.
