House Speaker Martin Romualdez has welcomed the possible visit of Japanese legislators to the Philippines, saying this would further broaden the long-standing good relations between the two countries.
This, after President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr. invited members of the Japanese parliament to visit the Philippines during the meeting of the Japan-Philippines Parliamentary Friendship League held Thursday in Tokyo, Japan.
“I really hope our friends from the Japanese parliament could visit us in the Philippines as this would go a long way to further deepen the mutually-beneficial bilateral relations that the two countries have nurtured over the past decades,” said Romualdez. Apart from Speaker, among the Filipino lawmakers who attended the JPPFL were House Senior Deputy Speaker and former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo; Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri; Special Assistant to the President, Secretary Antonio Ernesto Lagdameo Jr.; and Senator Mark Villar.
Romualdez hopes such a visit by the Japanese lawmakers could be arranged to happen this July, coinciding with the celebration of the 67th anniversary of the normalization of the diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Japan.
