NEW YORK, USA – Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and US President Joe Biden met Thursday, morning, September 22 , on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly here.
The Philippines-US meeting was the second bilateral meeting for President Marcos during his six-day working visit to New York City. Before the UNGA, Marcos championed the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea while also skirting around a direct mention of China and of the Philippines’ legal win over China in the dispute waters.
Malacañang has yet to announce whether a state visit or official visit to the US is in works for Marcos.
