Negotiators from Burma's government and the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) will meet at the Chinese border town of Ruili on Monday for another round of peace talks, according to Lah Nan, the KIO's chief spokesperson.

The upcoming talks come a little over a month after both sides met in Ruili on February 4. As with the previous meeting in Ruili the next round of talks will also be facilitated by China's government.

Although the last few rounds of negotiations have ended positively some fighting has continued in Kachin and parts of north western Shan state since they were held. Yesterday government aircraft attacked KIO positions along China's border near Pangwa. It is unclear if any KIO staff were injured or killed during the attack.
