MANILA, Philippines 鈥� Nations facing internal issues that can鈥檛 be easily resolved on their own or among them should consider tapping the help of a third country so conflicts may be resolved peacefully.

The Office of the Presidential Adviser on Peace, Reconciliation, and Unity (OPAPRU) said this Monday, citing as an example the Philippines鈥� efforts in the Bangsamoro peace process, amid Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian鈥檚 statement likening its situation with Taiwan to that of Mindanao as an 鈥渋nternal affair.鈥�

Huang issued the statement, where he also said the Philippines would never 鈥渁llow any third party to meddle with resolving rebel issues in Mindanao,鈥� as China chided the additional sites for the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement between Manila and Washington.

OPAPRU said a third country was in fact involved in the Philippine government鈥檚 peace negotiations with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.

鈥淭he Bangsamoro peace process ever since has been facilitated by a third country to ensure fairness and maintain the integrity of the peace negotiations,鈥� the agency said in a statement.

鈥淣ow in its implementation phase, the role of the international community in the southern peace process is very crucial to help deliver the peace dividends,鈥� it added.

OPAPRU encouraged nations with similar situations to resolve conflicts 鈥減eacefully鈥� and not to resort to the threat of force or violence.

It added that in addressing the Taiwan Strait crisis, genuine and inclusive dialogue is needed.

鈥淲e encourage countries with similar situations such as ours to follow the same path in resolving conflicts peacefully and not to resort to unnecessary threat of force, intimidation, and/or violence,鈥� the OPAPRU said.

鈥淭he success of the Bangsamoro peace process can be replicated no matter how difficult it is. We believe that to address the Taiwan Strait Crisis, we need genuine and inclusive dialogue, respect and good faith by all parties,鈥� it added.
