A working-level meeting was held among those from the ruling People Power Party, the main opposition Democratic Party and the government to launch the four-member state affairs council.

During the meeting, the rival parties and the government brought up respective agenda of their interests, agreeing to hold another working-level meeting after internal discussions.
