Sangma, the chief minister of Meghalaya, has stated that the next round of
talks with Assam will take place soon. This meeting will attempt to resolve
border issues between the two states. The two states will host the second round
of talks to resolve border disputes in six areas where the conflict exists. "We
will try to meet the regional committees and chief ministers together in the
coming weeks to move the talks forward," Conrad Sangma informed the press.

The six areas of
conflict that will be discussed in this phase are spread across Meghalaya's
districts of West Khasi Hills, Ri Bhoi, and West Jaintia Hills. The Meghalaya
government has previously stated that their top priority in this phase of the
talks is to respect local views while resolving border disputes with Assam.
Meghalaya and Assam share an interstate border of 885 kilometers.
