Though the two groups have not yet finalized the date of the meeting, there are indications that the dialogue may take place after the NSCN(IM) holds another round of talks with the Centre.
"At present, Swu and NSCN(IM) general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah are in New Delhi to hold the next round of talks with the government of India in a bid to resolve the vexed Naga political issue. However, the dates of the talks are yet to be finalized," special emissary to the outfit's collective leadership V S Atem told TOI here on Friday.
"After the meeting with the Centre, Swu and Muivah will both visit Nagaland and hold a meeting with Khaplang. This is going to happen very soon, but the schedule is not final," he added.
On January 23, the NSCN(IM) chairman reached New Delhi with an Indian passport. This was the first time that Swu, along with Muivah, has accepted Indian passports from the Union government.
According to sources, Swu is expected to attend the highest level meeting convened by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation.
Swu and Muivah have already agreed to work out a "mutually acceptable" settlement with the Central Government to resolve their differences.
"We acknowledge the positive attitude and the effort of the Indian government for creating such a conducive atmosphere. On our part, true to our commitment given to the Indian leaders, we are prepared to work out what is an honourable and mutually acceptable to both sides for a just and lasting solution," Swu said in New Delhi recently.
