President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has said the government will review a possible “tripartite agreement” with the Philippines’ two close allies, the United States and Japan.
TOKYO —
The PCO said the President told Kyodo News that “many other issues” raised by the Philippine delegation in Tokyo are fostering alliances with its long-time partners. “I think just part of the continuing process of strengthening our alliances because in this rather confusing, and I dare say dangerous situations, that we have, I’m not talking only about the South China Sea, I’m not only talking about the Indo-Pacific region but, of course, there is a conflict still ongoing in Ukraine and the rather disturbing effects that it has all around the world,” he said.
“So that is, I think, a central element to…providing some sort of stability in the face of all these problems that we are seeing around us,” Marcos said.
