Japan heartily welcomes that the negotiation between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) for Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro concerning the Mindanao peace process has been successfully concluded in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Having a firm belief that the peace in Mindanao will lead to the peace and stability in this region, Japan has extended its support to the peace process for years. It is great pleasure that Japan contributed to the progress of the peace process.
Japan sincerely commends the efforts made by the Government of the Philippines, the MILF, and the Government of Malaysia as the facilitator. Japan strongly hopes that the parties concerned will continue their efforts to steadily implement the transition process including the enactment of the Bangsamoro Basic Law and the establishment of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority towards the realization of the Bangsamoro Government.
As Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced during his visit to the Philippines in July last year, Japan will strengthen its support to the Mindanao peace process through the assistance for community development, capacity-building in transition period, sustainable economic development in Mindanao, and other methods. –End-
