“2023 will also be a year to celebrate a milestone in bilateral ties: the 75th anniversary of the Fulbright program in the Philippines, and of people-to-people exchanges between our countries”The last five months of 2022 coincided with my first five months serving as US Ambassador to the Philippines—an exciting time marked by non-stop engagements that strengthened our ironclad relationship as friends, partners, and allies.
In my 37 years as a diplomat, I have never seen this level of bilateral engagement in such a short period of time.And if what we see on the calendar for the new year is any indicator, our ties will continue to flourish in 2023. This week, the US Embassy will highlight the rich US-Philippine economic partnership during the fifth Indo-Pacific Business Forum , the US government’s premier annual regional event to promote trade, investment, and economic cooperation.
Later this month, officials from the US State and Defense departments will lead a senior US interagency delegation to the annual US-Philippine Bilateral Strategic Dialogue Our forces will work shoulder-to-shoulder on shared operations and tactics on land, at sea, and in the air. Philippine and US forces will also conduct multiple humanitarian and civic assistance projects during the exercise, including school renovations and health engagements with local communities.
Thousands of Filipinos and Americans have benefitted from these exchanges and brought those benefits back to their communities. We are also excited to welcome Peace Corps volunteers back to the Philippines this year.
