We are gathered here today to mark an important event in history. Today, we celebrate the second anniversary of the signing of the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA).When our Government took over the responsibility of the State in 2016, there were already some signatories to the NCA. Pursuant to the NCA, the Joint Ceasefire Monitoring Committee (JMC) was established. The JMC is tasked to coordinate the compliance of all signatories to the NCA. The NCA also established the Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee-(UPDJC) which is responsible for drafting a framework for political dialogue and provides a necessary platform for this undertaking.
