The Confederation of Nagaland Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CNCCI) has welcomed the outcome of the second consultative meeting between the Nagaland Tribal Hohos Coordination Committee (NTHCC) and the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organization (ENPO), held on May 27 at Hotel Saramati, Dimapur.

In a statement, CNCCI described the resolution adopted during the meeting as a “historic and significant step” towards strengthening unity, brotherhood, and collective responsibility among the Nagas of Nagaland.

It stated that the coming together of all apex tribal bodies under a common platform reflected the long-cherished aspiration of the Nagas, which is now gradually taking shape through mutual understanding, cooperation, and the spirit of oneness.

According to CNCCI, the development should not be viewed merely as the formation of another organization, but as a landmark moment in the collective journey of the Naga people towards greater unity and a shared common purpose built on sincere efforts, trust, and the collective good of Nagaland.

The CNCCI further expressed hope that, with the demands and aspirations of the ENPO moving towards fulfillment through the tripartite Memorandum of Agreement signed between the Government of India, the Government of Nagaland, and ENPO, the people of Nagaland would rise above differences and work collectively towards achieving an honorable and peaceful settlement to the Indo-Naga political talks.

While sharing in the optimism surrounding the latest development, the CNCCI also reminded tribal leaders representing their respective communities that they carry a historic responsibility to facilitate an early Indo-Naga political settlement and ensure lasting peace, stability, and opportunities for the younger generations.

At the same time, CNCCI appealed to the NTHCC to remain vigilant against individuals or leaders pursuing personal agendas, political survival, or vested interests, and who have consistently stood against Naga unity and the collective good of the people.

It further cautioned that history would judge such actions and posterity may not look kindly upon those who attempt to divide rather than unite the Nagas at a critical juncture in history.
