By President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. left for Singapore on Tuesday for a two-day working visit aimed at strengthening bilateral ties, expanding economic cooperation and laying the groundwork for closer collaboration as Singapore prepares to assume the ASEAN chairmanship next year.
According to Malacañang, Marcos is scheduled to meet with Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong, where the two leaders are expected to discuss ways to deepen cooperation in trade and investment, health, environmental protection and regional and global development.
As part of the visit, Marcos will join a private roundtable with Singaporean business leaders organized by the Milken Institute at the Philippine Embassy in a bid to attract more investments following the Philippines’ recent upgrade to upper-middle income economy status by the World Bank.
