Aung Kham Hti

U Aung Kham Hti (Burmese: အောင်ခမ်းထီ) is a Burmese politician and former monk. He was the Chairman of the Pa-O National Organisation (PNO), which he re-organised in 1976. Its military wing, known as the Pa-O National Army was also headed by him. On 11 April 1991, the PNO, under his leadership, agreed a ceasefire with the ruling State Law and Order Restoration Council. The PNO was granted a number of business concessions and control over some territory in the southwest Shan State, which later became known as the Shan State (South) Special Region-6.[1] Presently, he is a co-chairman of the Union Solidarity and Development Association, Shan State (South) branch. In April 2022, after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Aung Kham Hti was awarded the title of Wunna Kyawhtin.[2]
