From the Philippine Daily Inquirer (Nov 17): Nobel laureate offers help in talks
A British expert on peace negotiations on Friday lauded the progress in the
talks between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as he
offered to share his experience in resolving the Northern Ireland conflict in
hopes of giving “more confidence” to the parties involved. Lord David Trimble, a member of the British House of Lords and a Nobel Peace
Prize winner, has met with government officials and is set to fly to Cotabato
City this weekend to engage with ranking MILF officials. “I think achieving the framework agreement is a huge step forward. It think
it’s really quite hopeful here,” Trimble said in a press briefing on Friday.
Trimble, the first Minister of Northern Ireland, arrived earlier this week
for a five-day visit which will culminate on Saturday in meetings with members
of the MILF central committee.
