A junta delegation and a Chinese government mediation team are due to visit Panghsang, the administrative capital of the United Wa State Army (UWSA) in the Wa Self-Administered Division of Shan State.

缅甸军政府代表团和中国政府调解小组将访问掸邦佤族自治区佤联军的行政首都邦康。

According to a member of an unnamed resistance group familiar with the matter who spoke to Shan Herald, there will be a meeting in Panghsang ahead of Thingyan, the traditional Myanmar New Year water festival that starts on 13 April. Attending will be the junta, the Chinese delegation, UWSA officials and possibly a delegation from the Federal Political Negotiation and Consultative Committee (FPNCC) a coalition of seven ethnic armed organisations (EAOs), including the UWSA.

据一位不愿透露姓名的抵抗组织成员向《掸邦先驱报》透露，在4月13日开始的缅甸传统新年泼水节（Thingyan）之前，将在邦康举行一次会议。出席会议的有军政府、中国代表团、佤联军官员，可能还有联邦政治谈判与协商委员会（FPNCC）的代表团。FPNCC是包括佤联军在内的7个少数民族武装组织的联盟。

He said: “The delegation’s heading to Panghsang before Thingyan, but it’s still unclear whether they’ll meet just the UWSA or the whole FPNCC. Who’s actually going on the junta’s side hasn’t been revealed yet either.”

他说：“代表团将在Thingyan之前前往邦尚，但目前还不清楚他们是只会见佤联军还是会见整个FPNCC。实际上谁站在军政府一边还没有公布。”

The announcement about the meeting in Panghsang coincided with announcements by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), a member of the FPNCC, that it will withdraw from Lashio, a major city in northern Shan State it has controlled since 25 July 2024.

在邦尚举行会议的消息宣布之际，FPNCC成员缅甸民族民主联盟军（MNDAA）宣布将撤出其自2024年7月25日以来一直控制的掸邦北部主要城市腊戍。

The MNDAA is leaving Lashio following pressure from China. Originally the MNDAA had agreed to leave Lashio by 21 April 2025. But apparently, the date by which the MNDAA needs to vacate Lashio has been moved forward to 17 April, according to some unconfirmed reports from Lashio City residents.

MNDAA在中国的压力下离开了腊戍。最初，MNDAA同意在2025年4月21日之前离开腊戍。但是，根据腊戍市居民一些未经证实的报告，MNDAA需要撤离腊戍的日期显然已提前至4月17日。

Following the MNDAA’s withdrawal from Lashio City, on 22 April, China will be mediating a meeting between MNDAA and junta delegations in China’s Kunming City.

在同盟军于4月22日撤出腊戍市之后，中国将在中国昆明斡旋同盟军与军政府代表团之间的会议。

Lashio residents have speculated that once the MNDAA troops fully withdraw, junta and UWSA forces will take control of the city and manage its civil service sectors, including healthcare. However, Shan Herald has not yet been able to verify these claims and is still investigating them.

腊戍居民推测，一旦缅甸民族解放运动联盟的部队全部撤出，军政府和佤联军将控制该市，并管理包括医疗在内的公务员部门。然而，《掸邦先驱新闻社》尚未证实这些说法，仍在调查中。

UWSA troops have been in Lashio since 27 July 2024 when they entered under the pretext of protecting the UWSA’s External Relations Office in the city. At the same time the UWSA also deployed troops to Tangyan Town in Shan State under the same pretext.

佤联军自2024年7月27日以来一直驻扎在腊戍，当时他们以保护佤联军在该市的对外关系办公室为借口进入该市。与此同时，佤联军也以同样的借口向掸邦的当阳镇部署了部队。
