The government forces will strictly follow the directives of the President by not opening fire on the other side except for self-defense, the announcement said, adding that KIA commander was urged to stop their forces from attacking the government forces to reduce tension.
However, the KIA's attack on government outposts kept on over the last two days after the government announcement as reported.
The government claimed that it has negotiated with the KIA for 11 times and the last talks took place in vain on Oct. 30, 2012 with the absence of military leaders from the KIA side to discuss important issues.
The government said that after the failure of the last peace talks, the KIA stepped up attacks on government forces which in return launched air strike against the KIA in the beginning of this year at point-771 hill.
