Representatives from the government's Union Peace Making Work Committee, left, and armed ethnic minority groups, right, shake hands during their meeting at Myanmar Peace Center Wednesday, July 22, 2015, in Yangon, Myanmar. They resumed critical talks on Wednesday to reach a nationwide ceasefire agreement that would end six decades of fighting before an upcoming general election that threatens to upend hard-won progress toward a deal.

The general election, which would usher in a new president, takes place in November. (AP Photo/Khin Maung Win)
