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

The Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has stated that Malaysia remains an indispensable and trusted "honest broker" in the Philippines' Bangsamoro peace process. MILF Peace Implementing Panel chairman Mohagher Iqbal emphasized Malaysia's impartiality and record in facilitating negotiations since 2001, highlighting the country's role in helping facilitate key agreements between the Philippine government and the MILF, including the Framework Agreement on the Bangsamoro and the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB).

Iqbal stated that Malaysia's facilitation is indispensable and that there is no reason why the country should not continue as the facilitating country, given its track record and confidence placed in its impartiality. The Philippine government and MILF are working towards an Exit Agreement to formally conclude the peace process once all commitments under the CAB have been fulfilled.
