NDF-GRP peace talks to resume

Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

After more than two years of suspension by the Arroyo regime, formal peace negotiations between the National Democratic Front (NDF) and the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) are set to resume next month. The agreement was reached by the two negotiating panels in informal talks in Oslo, Norway on October 9, according to the NDF panel.

The peace negotiations shall be based on The Hague Joint Declaration and nine other bilateral agreements, the Utrecht Joint Statement on March 9, 2003 and the Oslo Communique on April 30, 2001.

The NDF cited the continued listing of the CPP, NPA and Jose Ma. Sison as terrorists by the US and the European Union as obstacles to the peace negotiations. The NDF says this is interference in the Philippines� internal affairs and should be decried by the GRP.
