In his bilateral talk with President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. on Sunday on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit, Trudeau said he wants strong partnership with the Philippines to make it easier for Canadian infrastructure builders to secure projects in the country. “And there’s also a lot that we can do on small and medium size businesses, particularly women-owned and run, which is an area of tremendous growth and strength in the Philippine economy to see women succeed," Trudeau added.
For his part, Marcos welcomed Trudeau’s offer, stressing one of the thrusts of his administration is to assist the MSMEs in recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic.
