ICYMI: The two leaders meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. UNGA
NEW YORK, USA – Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and US President Joe Biden met Thursday, September 22 morning , on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly here.
Marcos, meanwhile, said his country appreciated the deep role of the United States in maintaining peace in the region. While in New York, Marcos has attended several meetings — from a gathering with Filipinos from the tri-state area, to Canada and in New Jersey, to meetings with top US-based companies across different hotels in the Big Apple.
The US and the Marcos clan have a long and colorful relationship. The US government supported the first Marcos regime, until a people’s uprising sent the family packing into exile. Still, it played host to the Marcoses while they were in exile.
