~~ Shan-Kachin Agreement Made on 6 February 1947 at Panglong ~~
DECISION ARRIVED AT BY THE SHAN-KACHIN COMMITTEE AT ITS MEETING AT
PANGLONG ON 6TH FEBRUARY 1947 AT 2:30 P.M.
The Committee is of the opinion that the freedom for the Shans and the Kachins would be achieved sooner through the co-operation with the Burmese; as such the two races would send in their respective Representatives to take part in the Executive Council of the Burmese Government during the transition period, with the following conditions:
1. Same status, rights and privileges as enjoyed by the Burmese on democratic lines.
2. The Shan and Kachin members in the Executive Council would be responsible for all their internal affairs and would jointly be responsible for common subjects e.g. Defence, Foreign Affairs, Railways, Customs etc.
3. This Committee supported the demand of the Kachins for their desire to have a distinct separate Kachin State.
4. The term of agreement, as arrived at between the Burmese delegates and His Majesty’s Government, is not to be binding on the Shans and Kachins.
5. The right to secede after attainment of freedom from Confederation with Burma, if and when we choose.
