Indonesia and the MILF-Philippines Peace Deal
Indonesia today reiterated its full support for the success of the full implementation of the peace process between the Philippine government and the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) signed in 1996.
The call was made by Indonesian Deputy Foreign Minister Rezlan Ishar Jenie at the opening of the 3rd Tripartite Meeting of the Government Peace Panel (GRP), the MNLF and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) here this afternoon.
“Indonesia stands ready to shoulder its part,” Jenie said as he appealed “for the OIC members to be forthcoming in supporting economic development of the region (Mindanao).”
Jenie is presiding officer at the three-day session as chair of the OIC-Peace Committee in Southern Philippines.
The conference tackles the full implementation of the GRP-MNLF peace process signed in Malacanang Palace on September 2, 1996, ending 25 years of warfare in Mindanao.
The first two tripartite meetings were held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and Istanbul, Turkey.
This is the first time the Philippines is holding the conference. – PNA
