The DFA also said that the Philippines during the Asean summits supported Ukraine’s accession to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation of Southeast Asia.
“The displacement of civilians has been a serious consequence of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine and we have supported efforts in the United Nations not only to seek a peaceful end to this conflict, but also to address the pressing and urgent humanitarian issue of displaced civilians,” the DFA noted.
The DFA likewise asserted that the Philippines has a “long tradition of providing refuge for civilians fleeing from conflict as well as protecting civilians in conflict through our many decades of involvement in peacekeeping.”
