MILF: GPH, MILF Peace Panels to meet in KL to resume peace talks

Posted to the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (Aug 3): GPH, MILF Peace Panels to meet in KL to resume peace talks



The Government of the Philippines (GPH) and Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) Peace panels will meet in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia within the next two weeks and resume peace talks, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza said in a television interview yesterday, a Philstar report said.

Dureza said they were instructed by President Duterte to go to Kuala Lumpur within the next two weeks to re-launch the peace engagement with the MILF.

Earlier, Duterte said he would be spending 10 days in Mindanao to focus on building the framework for the Bangsamoro peace process, which will include the MILF and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF).

”I have to fix the Mindanao issue. I will look at the framework. I have to travel to Cotabato to talk again to hurry up and I will travel to Jolo to talk to (MNLF founding chairman) Nur (Misuari),” Duterte said, Philstar quoted him saying.

Pres. Duterte said that he is willing to give Misuari a safe-conduct pass for the talks in Jolo.

Zamboanga City Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar upon learning of the safe-conduct pass to be issued to Misuari, assured the families of the victims of the 2013’s MNLF siege that city officials would continue to seek justice for the victims.

During the visit of Pres. Duterte in Zamboanga City recently, Salazar conveyed to him the feelings and sentiments of thousands of displaced victims affected by the three-week siege in the city.
