Myawady Township in Kayin State lies along the Myanmar–Thailand border and is a strategically important area on the India-Myanmar-Thailand Asian Highway. Most Kayin armed groups operate and maintain bases in this region. In 2015, Kayin armed organizations such as the DKBA, KNU/KNLA-PC, and the KNU signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA). As stability improved following the agreement, development activities were carried out in the area. However, during this peace-making period, the KNU took advantage of the situation and, citing various pretexts, launched the Shwe Kokko project in the Brigade 7 area in 2016. It was also found that in 2017, the Chongkhaed Garden Resort casino project was initiated in Chongkhaed village, and in early 2020, the KK Park project was launched in the Maethawtalay area under Brigade 6.
