President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. said there was a need to reawaken the relationship between the Philippines and Japan as it had been “dormant” due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Marcos said this in a dinner meeting with the executives of Mitsui & Co. and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation here on Wednesday evening, Feb. 8.
“We can point to so many of the developments that happened in the Philippines with the assistance of the different Japanese funding agencies and our government-to-government arrangements and commercial arrangements, and these have been to the benefit of both our countries,” he added. “We look forward to the discussions that we will be having here for the next few days as we have very much— we have great hopes that this will be a driver in our… the transformation of our economy,” he added.
