EXCHANGING VIEWS. Japanese Minister Kamikawa Yoko meets with Secretary Carlito G. Galvez Jr, Presidential Advisor on Peace, Reconciliation and Unity; Minister Raissa Jajurie, Minister for Social Services and Development, Bangsamoro Transition Authority; and Professor Miriam Coronel Ferrer, University of the Philippines, to exchange views on the Mindanao peace process and West Philippine Sea.
While the RAA is being compared to the Visiting Forces Agreement between the Philippines and the United States, President Marcos previously stressed that the two are different. Senator Nancy Binay said the signing of the RAA is the fruit of the Senate’s effort to seek peaceful resolutions to maritime conflicts in the Asia-Pacific Region.
“In response, Senate President Escudero said that he would make every effort to ensure steady progress in a wide range of bilateral cooperation areas, including the early ratification of the RAA by the Senate,” the embassy said.
