The Negotiating Panel of the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) headed by Luis G. Jalandoni is scheduled to hold a dialogue with the Mission of the Special Committee on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity (SCPRU) of the GRP House of Representatives headed by Rep. Satur Ocampo in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The main objective of the said dialogue is to explore ways of removing certain obstacles to pave the way for the resumption of the stalled peace negotiations between the Government of the Republic of the Philippines (GRP) and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP).

The consultations are scheduled from June 23 to June 25, 2005 in Utrecht. The Mission of the SCPRU is composed of Representatives Satur Ocampo, Lorenzo Tanada III, and Arthur Defensor while the NDFP side will be composed of members of the NDFP negotiating panel, Luis G. Jalandoni, Julie de Lima, Fidel V. Agcaoili and Coni K. Ledesma, and NDFP Chief Political Consultant Jose Maria Sison.

The NDFP negotiating panel welcomes this initiative of the Congress Mission that has been authorized by Speaker Jose de Venecia and has the backing of the GRP House of Representatives. The NDFP panel hopes that these consultations will contribute positively to the efforts being exerted by interested parties for the resumption of the GRP-NDFP peace negotiations.#
