President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has sought Malaysia’s continuous support in bringing development to the country, especially in Mindanao, during his bilateral meeting with visiting Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
In a joint press briefing following the two leaders’ bilateral meeting on Wednesday, March 1, Marcos recognized Malaysia’s contribution to the peace process in Mindanao with the hope that the country would continue to do so.
“I therefore invited Malaysia to continue supporting the Philippine government’s efforts to bring development and enhancement to the livelihoods of Mindanaoans,” he added. “As immediate neighbors the Philippines and Malaysia recognize the importance of maintaining peace and security in our region. As such we agreed to continue our cooperation on political and security matters, rekindling the joint commission meetings and joint initiatives to combat transnational crime and terrorism,” Marcos said.
