Laiza (Burmese: လိုင်ဇာ) is a town in the Kachin State, Myanmar, on the border with China.
History
Laiza was just a village prior to 1994. It became an important town in Kachin State after the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) made a cease-fire agreement with the State Peace and Development Council (SPDC) and moved its capital there from Pajau. Leaders from the different ethnic groups of Myanmar attended the Laiza Conference in October 2013 in search of common ground among ethnic groups when they planned to meet with the Burmese government for further peace talk and the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement.
