MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. vowed to push for the country’s priorities, particularly on trade, maritime cooperation and climate action at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations-European Union summit to be held in Brussels, Belgium. According to Marcos in his departure speech at the Villamor Airbase, this year’s summit marks the first meeting of Asean and EU leaders at the EU headquarters.“In addition to pursuing Asean interest as country coordinator for the EU, I will always as certainly push for Philippine priorities within the context of the Asean-EU cooperation, particularly in post-pandemic economic recovery and trade, maritime cooperation and of course climate action,” said Marcos.
The member states will celebrate 45 years of Asean-EU relations during the summit and will hold discussions on issues concerning both regional organizations, which include global and regional security challenges, sustainable development and economic cooperation, among other things.
