Mohd Johari visited the headquarters of the 11th TPA-Malaysia (TPA-M 11) contingent in Mindanao yesterday.

He said the presence of the contingent was very significant in determining the success of the ceasefire between the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and the Philippine government.

Mohd Johari said the TPA-M was established to monitor and supervise the truce between the Philippine government and the MILF.

In addition, he said it was also aimed at creating a more conducive and safer atmosphere for the peace agreement.

"At the moment, the truce is in the final stage where all the main framework of the agreement has been signed," he said.

During the visit, Mohd Johari also met with MILF deputy chairperson Ghadzali Jaafar and its top leaders.
