The Malaysian government is studying whether there is a need for the International Monitoring Team (TPA) to take a broader roles like helping the Bangsamoro government in coordinating the development projects in the territory.
Deputy Defence Minister Mohd Johari Baharum said it was aimed at helping the Bangsamoro government to administer the territory in the most effective way.
"The Malaysian government will continue its commitment to assist the Bangsamoro government, which will be formed later," he said in a statement in Kuala Lumpur, today.
Mohd Johari visited the headquarters of the 11th TPA-Malaysia (TPA-M 11) contingent in Mindanao yesterday.
He said the presence of the contingent was very significant in determining the success of the ceasefire between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government.
Mohd Johari said the TPA-M was established to monitor and supervise the truce between the Philippine government and the MILF.
In addition, he said it was also aimed at creating a more conducive and safer atmosphere for the peace agreement.
"At the moment, the truce is in the final stage where all the main framework of the agreement has been signed," he said.
During the visit, Mohd Johari also met with MILF deputy chairperson Ghadzali Jaafar and its top leaders.
