Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo is in Tokyo, Japan to participate in the Munich Leaders Meeting (MLM) and engage in a number of policy discussions until May 16.
In a statement released by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Manalo will “join policymakers and experts in sharing insights on a range of issues, including the Indo-Pacific security architecture, nuclear security, and new partnership opportunities arising from the shifting geopolitical landscape in the region and beyond.”
Manalo will also deliver a policy address at the Japan’s National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies to promote rules-based order. “As the world undergoes profound transformations, driven by new technologies, power dynamics, and societal changes, the Philippines and Japan must continue to work together to ensure that the principles enshrined in the UN Charter and the rules-based order that has been the bedrock of international peace and stability these past decades, are upheld and strengthened,” he added.
Japan made the clarification when asked by CNN Philippines on its possible participation in the Philippine-US joint patrols which, according to Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez, could possibly start in the third quarter of 2023.
