By MANILA – Strengthening relations with foreign partners, advancing education initiatives, and monitoring the progress of key infrastructure projects topped President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s agenda this week.
In line with Marcos’ foreign policy anchored on promoting peace and protecting national interests, the Philippines formally elevated its ties with Vietnam with an Enhanced Strategic Partnership during the state visit of Vietnamese President To Lam to the Philippines.
The move was announced after Marcos held a bilateral meeting with To Lam at Malacañan Palace in Manila on Monday, ushering in a deeper cooperation on shared interests and priorities, particularly in defense and security, trade and investment, technology, and people-to-people exchanges.
