PH, MNLF resume talks Monday

From Tempo (Sep 5): PH, MNLF resume talks Monday

After a long while, the government of the Philippines and the Moro National Liberation Front are scheduled to meet on September 7 and 8 to resume their stalled tripartite meeting.

Organization of Islamic Cooperation Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani convened the two-day meeting at the New World Hotel in Makati City.

Madani is sending his special envoy for peace for the Philippines, Ambassador Sayyed Kaseem El-Masry, to preside over the meeting.

Undersecretary Jose Lorena of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process said the informal tripartite meeting’s major agenda is to “charter a roadmap for a conclusion of the tripartite process.”

He said other agenda may be taken, but will revolve around the major agenda.

Lorena said the convening of the meeting next week is a result of the visit to the Philippines of Madani in April this year, during which the OIC chief supported the convergence of the tracks of the Mindanao peace process.
