Trilateral co-operation by Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines: temper expectations/ Raymund Jose G. Quilop - 2018

The steps toward trilateral co-operation involving the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia have been hailed by some as a way forward in combating terrorism in the region. But these efforts have yet to be fully operationalized, and potential external partners would be wise to keep their expectations modest. It is also important to note that the impetus for this co-operation came from a desire to battle kidnapping and piracy - not international extremism.
