MANILA: Moro leader Nur Misuari’s allegations linking Malaysia to kidnappings are his own views and not that of the Philippine government, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) spokesperson Charles Jose said on Monday, ahead of President Duterte’s two-day official visit to the country.

Duterte is flying to Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday, and may discuss Malaysia’s role in the peace process in Mindanao during bilateral talks with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Jose said.
