Nai Wunna Man, a spokesperson for the 2022 Mon National Conference, told Than Lwin Times that at the conference, the participants have decided to finalize the Federal Union and Ramanya Mon State Constitution within six months.
A 12-member negotiation and drafting committee was also formed with Mon monks, New Mon State Party(NMSP), Mon Unity Party (MUP) and civil organizations to draft Federal Union and Ramanya Mon State Constitution.
