Nordic ambassadors from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden recently visited the Bangsamoro region in the southern Philippines to strengthen cooperation with local partners and reaffirm their commitment to peacebuilding. Norway serves as vice chair of the IDB and has four representatives stationed in Cotabato to support the process. Norway currently supports IOM Philippines programming with the JPST, focusing on Women, Peace and Security as well as renewable energy initiatives in the Bangsamoro region. Through their engagements, the Nordic countries expressed continued interest in contributing to a peaceful, inclusive, and sustainable future for the area. Bangsamoro consists of different regions and islands in the south of the Philippines with a largely Muslim population.
