First World Zomi Convention, 1988
The organisation rekindled hopes to the Zomi Nationalists who had been crying to integrate with their brethren living on the other side of the existing international boundaries. However, the organisation gradually lost its mass appeal once the constituent party, ZNC and PC, fought State Elections in Manipur and Mizoram respectively. This was against the Charter of Agreement, 1988 and led to another vacuum in the process of Zomi Re-unification.

3rd World Zo People Convention, 2013
Trivial diversities are not the question, but consciousness of one's identity, culture and the undying love for one's pathetic fatherland. While the present reunification keeps wheeling on, 'individualistic' culture should be checked and redressed lest it slowed down the process of constructing a stronger reunification. Rather there should be equal and spacious room to accommodate each tribe or clan. Indeed, geographical boundaries and distances; opposing ideologies and, slim diversities of cultures and dialects should not be allowed to break the tie of blood! It is, therefore, felt imperative to convene another convention to discuss these internal social and cultural problems and issues so as to find out better directions [either from theological approach or socio-cultural reconstruction/review, or from both] to strengthen the on-going geo-political reunification of the Zomis. Eyeing these issues the Zomi Council, General Headquarters is obliged to convene the 3rd World Zomi Convention from 25th -27th October, 2013 at Lamka, Manipur, India in pursuing of its Assembly Resolution No. 8, dated 23rd April 2013 held at Lamka, Manipur, North East India (India)

Zomi National Congress of Manipur under the leadership of Pu T Gougin, and the People's Convention of Mizoram under Brig T Sailo, jointly organised the First World Zomi Convention. This most emotional of Zomi gathering so far, was held at Champhai from May 19-21, 1988 and was attended by representatives from all Zomi inhabited areas of the world. The delegates resolved to form a loose political forum called the "Zomi Re-Unification Organisation" (the name 'Zomi' was subsequently replaced with 'Zo' omitting 'mi', in 1991, thus ZORO).

This convention was held in 1991 at Vanapa Hall, Aizawl after ommitting 'mi' from the word "Zomi" by ZORO.
