British Ambassador to the Philippines Stephen Lillie has assured the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government that the United
Kingdom will fully support the peace process in southern Philippines.
Lillie made the assurance in his meeting with MILF chair Al Haj Murad in Camp
Darapanan on Tuesday.
“It was a cordial meeting, all of us were open and honest in discussing the
issues surrounding the peace process and we laud the MILF and the GPH for coming
up with a framework agreement,” Lillie said in a radio interview here.
“We are very pleased that after a lot of hard work, the agreement has been
signed,” Lillie said, adding that it provided the great foundation for peace and
stability and development in Mindanao and it will be good for the whole
Philippines because a stable and peaceful Mindanao is good for the whole
country.
