Brende discussed the peace process with Duterte
The peace process in the Philippines was the main topic of Foreign Minister Børge Brende on Friday when he met outspoken Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte.
– Duterte expressed confidence on Norway and mentioned that the process is on track. I have a good hope that we can find solutions.
This could end the conflict that has lasted for nearly 50 years, says Brende to news agency NTB on a jagged line telephone from Manila.
In addition to meeting with Duterte, Brende also has held talks with Foreign Minister Perfecto Yasay, peace minister Jesus Dureza and representatives of the guerrillas.
