The joint statement comes after talks between the Centre interlocutor RS Pandey and NSCN-IM leader Thuingaleng Muivah in Delhi.

"While the differences between the two parties have narrowed, some of the proposals would require further negotiations to reach a mutually acceptable solution," the joint statement issued by Pandey and Muivah said.
