Ascribing all glory to the Lord Jesus, who made the meeting possible despite many hurdles, the Nagaland Baptist Church Council (NBCC) congratulated the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) and highest level leaders of the Naga political groups for the epoch-making summit held on Saturday.
A release issued here by the Director of Peace Affairs of NBCC Rev L Kari Longchar said the Council welcomed this landmark in the reconciliation process and was confident that the top leadership is capable enough to navigate through all the difficulties and reach the ultimate goal with their consorted efforts.
The Naga Hoho, the apex traditional body of all Naga tribes, termed the ''historic day of September 18'' as another red letter day in the annals of Naga political history, wherein the three leaders sat across the table in the spirit of hammering out their past differences.
Maintaining that it was a moment of God's answer to the Naga people's prayer and their yearning for peace and permanent political settlement, the Hoho said it was the greatest stepping stone leading towards the meeting of those signatories at the highest level as clearly emphasized in the Covenant of Reconciliation.
The Chakhesang Public Organization (CPO) has also applauded the leaders of the three Naga underground groups for demonstrating their commitment before God and the Naga people, while congratulating the FNR for enabling these historic events to take place.
