The Philippines has urged fellow ASEAN members to remain united as the region plays a key role being now the center of global economy.
This was stressed by Trade and Industry Assistant Secretary Allan Gepty, who represented the Philippines at the First Meeting of the ASEAN Senior Economic Officials on 16-17 January 2023 in Semarang, Indonesia.
“ASEAN is now at the center of the global economy. As a single market and production base, economic activities have gravitated towards our region from research and development, product development, manufacturing, innovation, and even the development of creative and digital economy. That is why, ASEAN matters in this era, and it is important that we remain united and assert our strength and influence in the global economy,” Gepty said.
“For ASEAN and Japan, we have to ensure that our strong economic ties are further deepened and remain resilient amidst evolving economic and geo-political developments,” mentioned Gepty.
