President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. showcased the Philippines' achievements in diplomacy and economic growth during a New Year Vin D'Honneur for members of the Diplomatic Corps. He emphasized the country's commitment to strengthening international partnerships and achieving its economic goals.

President Marcos hosted a New Year Vin D'Honneur for members of the Diplomatic Corps in Malacañan on Saturday evening, January 11. In his speech, President Marcos reflected on his commitment to putting the Philippines back on the map by fortifying its ties with international partners. He expressed gratitude to the Philippines' international partners as he highlighted the country's strides in diplomacy and economic growth.

'Early in my presidency, I vowed to reintroduce the Philippines to the world and jumpstart meaningful, concrete, and mutually beneficial partnerships that will drive growth for this country in the 21st Century economy,' he said. 'In the last two-and-a-half years, the Philippines has since embarked on the diplomatic agenda that leverages international partnerships which have translated to increased bilateral engagements and cooperation with traditional partners and new allies,' he added. President Marcos said the Philippines' commitment to an independent foreign policy has led to expanding international partnerships. He noted the opening of four new embassies in Europe and Latin America last year, with plans to establish four more foreign service posts in North America, Asia, and the Pacific. 'By the end of 2025, we will have 102 posts effectively widening our reach globally,' he said, adding that new embassies from Bahrain and Slovenia opened in Manila in 2024, with more expected from Central Asia in the coming years. The President also boasted about the country's economic achievements, including the Philippine economy's strong performance and the government's revenue collection hitting about P 4.42 trillion in 2024. He highlighted the country's credit rating improvement in 2024 and the drop in the unemployment rate. President Marcos concluded by appealing to the country's foreign partners to support the Philippines' candidacy for the United Nations Security Council seat for the term 2027-2028
