The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has been playing an active role in the overall government effort since the time of the abductions, particularly in closely engaging the concerned countries.

Over the past few weeks, we have stepped up our coordination efforts with Canada, Norway, Indonesia, and Malaysia.

In the last ten (10) days and on an almost daily basis, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs remains in close contact with his foreign counterparts - providing regular updates and guaranteeing utmost cooperation. The DFA has also been actively engaged in discussions and information exchanges in the Security Cluster of the Cabinet. END
