Govt, MILF end KL talks but Bangsa law hangs

The “special meeting” between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) ended Friday in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on a “positive note” but with no finality on the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law.

In a joint statement, the government and the MILF panels said both panels achieved “modest progress” in resolving issues in the proposed Bangsamoro law, but talks are to continue in Manila in the following days.
