On behalf of the Government Peace Implementing Panel for the GPH-MILF Peace Accord, I convey our sincerest sympathy and prayers for the people of Türkiye and Syria who have been severely affected by the catastrophic damages brought by the 7.8 magnitude earthquake.
We stand with the people of Türkiye and Syria – who as members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) have supported the earlier stages of the Bangsamoro Peace Process, and through Turkey’s steadfast participation have contributed towards the finalization of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro.

As we place their contributions in the highest esteem especially during trying times in the peace process, we together with our brothers and sisters in the Bangsamoro remember and are in solidarity with Türkiye and Syria to rise in fortitude and renewed hope from this tragic loss. ###
