He praised NSCN-IM leaders T Muivah and Isak Swu for showing wisdom and courage and for making this effort which resulted in the historical agreement.

"I have the deepest admiration for the great Naga people for their extraordinary support to the peace efforts," he said, as per IANS.


The prime minister said that "unfortunately, the Naga problem has taken so long to resolve because we did not understand each other".

"The Naga courage and commitment are legendary. Equally, they represent the highest levels of humanism," he added.
