Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. meets US President Joe Biden for the first time in New York City.
President Joe Biden met with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, September 22. Biden talked about the “critical” relationship of the Philippines and the United States and the role Filipino Americans play in contributing to the United States.
We’ve had some rocky times but the fact is it’s a critical, critical relationship from our perspective. I hope you feel the same way. I was impressed with the work you did on windmills and a whole range of other things. You and I both think that’s the future we can do a lot – we can do a lot together. I’m desperately interested in making sure we do.
So we have very much to discuss in terms of redefining I suppose in many ways. But the role of the United States in maintaining the peace in our region is something that is much appreciated by all the countries in the regions and the Philippines especially.
