Lawngtlai, January 29, 2026: The 134th Chin–Lushai Conference, organised by the Zo Re-unification Organisation (ZORO), was held with significance and renewed commitment to unity on Wednesday at the Lal Thanhawla Auditorium in Lawngtlai.
The conference was graced by Mizoram Legislative Assembly Speaker Lalbiakzama as the chief guest. Addressing the gathering, the Speaker highlighted ZORO's long-standing efforts, since 1988, to bring the Chin kindred communities together under a common identity. He described the organisation's role in promoting unity among the Zo people as both meaningful and timely.
Recalling recent milestones, Lalbiakzama mentioned the launch of the Zo Indigenous Identity Card on December 24, 2024, an initiative led by ZORO, and encouraged the people to continue the movement with dedication and perseverance.
Referring to history, the Speaker noted that attempts made during the 1892 Chin–Lushai Conference to unite the Chin communities under a single administration had failed, resulting in the people being divided later by international boundaries. These divisions, he said, led to differences in territories and languages, but never broke the shared ancestry, blood ties, and brotherhood of the Zo people. He urged the community to remain united wherever they reside.
The theme of the 134th Chin–Lushai Conference was "Unity", reflecting the organisation's core objective.
The morning session was presided over by ZORO President R. Sangkawia while ZORO Vice President L. Ramdinliana Renthlei presented a report highlighting the organisation's activities and achievements. The afternoon session featured cultural programmes, during which Lalmuanpuia Punte, MLA and Adviser to the Chief Minister delivered the inaugural address.
The conference concluded with a renewed call for solidarity, cultural preservation, and collective effort towards strengthening unity among the Zo kindred communities.
