Yangon, Oct 31 : Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi has called for "all inclusiveness" in the country's national reconciliation and peace process, the state media report said on Tuesday.

Suu Kyi reiterated that "the door is always open" to the non-ceasefire signatory armed groups to join the signing of the Nationwide Ceasefire Accord (NCA), the Myanmar News Agency reported.

Speaking at the 12th meeting of the Union Peace Dialogue Joint Committee (UPDJC) in Nay Pyi Taw on Monday, she said that her government always puts great emphasis on the "non-signatories" participation.

She also urged all for the completion of work in laying down the basic principles for a federal union in 2018, Xinhua news agency reported.
