Among the issues that were openly shared and discussed, the leaders expressed the importance of Naga Reconciliation and agreed to further strengthen the present reconciliation process as 'a journey of common hope', the statement said.
The FNR encouraged the leaders to demonstrate their commitment by moving forward together based on lessons learned from the past.
