Kohima, Nov 20: The next round of crucial peace talks between the Centre and the NSCN (IM) is likely to be held on December 05 in Bangkok.
According to NSCN (I-M) sources, the next round of peace parleys, which were deferred because of the coming assembly polls in five states would be held at the Thai capital next month.
This time the talks would focus on making the political dialogue more substantive and productive, sources said and added that in the last round of talks the NSCN (I-M) had hinted that it would like the Centre to address political issues including the contentious issue of integration of the Naga- inhabited areas in the North East and the degree of political sovereignty to be offered to the Nagas.
Meanwhile, in yet another large defection of the NSCN(K) cadres to the NSCN (I-M), four more cadres of the outfit switched allegiance to join the NSCN (I-M), sources informed. It might be mentioned here that Mokokchung district, literally known as the AO region, was the ''stronghold'' of the NSCN (K), but the outfit after facing public wrath and had lost its ''control'' over that district.
