LESS than a year since it was launched, the Philippines-United States-Japan trilateral partnership has already made “historic” gains, according to outgoing US President Joe Biden.
“We’ve made historic progress in our trilateral partnership, especially in areas of maritime security, economic security, technology cooperation, and high-quality infrastructure investments,” Biden said during his trilateral video phone call with President Ferdinand Marcos and Japan Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru on Monday.
Marcos agreed with Biden that the trilateral partnership helped in pushing for the mutual interest of the three countries, which he said, should be maintained. For his part, Ishiba stressed the importance of expanding upon what Philippines, US, and Japan have agreed during the launch of their trilateral partnership in their summit on April 2024 amid China’s growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
“Going forward, it is important to deepen trilateral cooperation in a variety of fields,” Ishiba said.
