The participants of the event "reaffirmed the support to the historic Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) on August 3, 2015 in New Delhi", the declaration note issued by UNC said.
The event also urged the central government and the NSCN to conclude the Indo-Naga political issue based on historic Framework Agreement of 2015 and uniqueness of Naga history and position at the earliest.
