The International Monitoring Team - Mindanao 10 (IMT-M10)
arrived in Mindanao on Saturday to continue Malaysia's commitment in monitoring
and observing the ceasefire between the Philippine government and the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
The team arrived at the Awang Airport here on a C130-owned
Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) before being taken to the IMT-M headquarters
located about five kilometres away.
A ceremony to hand over duties and roles was then held
between IMT-M10 Head of Mission Maj Gen Datuk Sheikh Mokhsin Sheikh Hassan and
IMT-M9 Head of Mission Maj Gen Datuk Abdul Samad Yaakub.
It was witnessed by Chairman of the Government of
Philippines-Ad hoc Joint Action Group (GPH-AHJAG) Brig Gen Manokuto O.Orense,
Head of Government of Philippines-Coordinating Committees for the Cessation of
Hostilities (GPH-CCCH) Secretariat Major Carlos T.Dol Jr and MILF-CCCH chairman
Rasid Tan Ladiasan.
In line with the IMT-M slogan of "Together We Make It
Happen", Sheikh Mokhsin said he was optimistic and confident that his team
was capable of carrying out the responsibilities entrusted to them with
dedication and discipline.
"We will continue to tread the path of excellence of
the previous team in ensuring that the peace process can be achieved in the
near future," he told Bernama.
The IMT-M10 comprises 16 members, of whom 11 are from the
Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM), two from Royal Malaysian Police and three others
are civil servants from the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Foreign
Affairs.
