From InterAksyon (Jan 9): Norway hoping for resumption of stalled GPH-NDF talks
Visiting Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende discussed with Philippine officials the possibility of resuming in the coming months stalled peace negotiations with communist rebels as he assured his country would continue to act as third-party facilitator in the talks.
“We’re committed to continue as facilitator ... as long as this is the interest of the government of the Philippines,” Brende told reporters after meeting with Foreign Secretary Albert Del Rosario and Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Teresita Deles.
Brende was also expected to take up the matter in his meeting with President Benigno S. Aquino III in Malacanang Thursday afternoon.
Talks between the government and the National Democratic Front, which represents the revolutionary movement led by the Communist Party of the Philippines, to end the 45-year old insurgency have been stalled since 2011.
