New Delhi, December 19: Swu and Muivah arc expected to arrive here on December 27 from a European country and are likely to be lodged safely either in a hotel or a guest house for security reasons, the sources said.

Even though no accord is likely to be reached at the parleys, the talks with highest Indian leadership are expected to provide a major boost to bring peace in Nagaland affected by decades of insurgency, the sources said.

Advani had told the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that the Naga peace process was yet to reach a substantive stage, but had voiced happiness, over the decision of the NSCN(I-M) leaders to come to India for talks.

Government was not in favour of holding talks with the NSCN abroad and they too have accepted our view and the next round would be held in the country, he had said.

In the last few years since the 1997 centre-NSCN(I-M) ceasefire accord, Swu and Muivah have been holding peace negotiations with Padmanabhaiah and successive Intelligence Bureau Chiefs, including present Director KP Singh, in third countries like Thailand and the Netherlands.
