FDFA Statement - Philippines: agreement between the Government and the MILF

Bern, Press releases, 08.10.2012

Switzerland welcomes the framework agreement concluded between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). It recognizes the important role played in this process by the Government of Malaysia as facilitator, the members of the International Contact Group, which comprises the Geneva based “Center for Humanitarian Dialogue”, as well as the members of the International Monitoring Team.

Switzerland is hopeful that the two parties will adhere to the provision of the Framework Agreement in view of the establishment of the Bangsamoro in the region of Mindanao.

Switzerland further hopes that the conclusion of this agreement will contribute towards the resolution of other internal conflicts and positively influence the stability in the country.
