Moro Islamic Liberation Front says Malaysia’s role ‘indispensable’ to Philippines’ Bangsamoro peace process

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has emphasized Malaysia's crucial role in the Philippines' Bangsamoro peace process, describing it as an indispensable and trusted "honest broker." MILF Peace Implementing Panel chairman Mohagher Iqbal stated that Malaysia's impartiality and record in facilitating negotiations since 2001 have earned it high levels of trust from both the MILF and the Philippine government.

The MILF highlighted Malaysia's involvement in facilitating key agreements such as the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB), which paved the way for the passage of the Bangsamoro Organic Law and the establishment of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority. Iqbal expressed confidence that Malaysia's continued facilitation will be essential for reaching the peace process's conclusion with an Exit Agreement, once all commitments under the CAB have been fulfilled.
