President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has floated the idea of pursuing a partnership with France on nuclear energy.
BANGKOK, Thailand—
“I had a very extensive and quite productive meeting with President Macron of France and of course, we discussed some of the regional issues that are impacting upon the economy and the worries that we have for the future and the partnerships that are developing between even far off places, what we used to regard as far off places like France and the Philippines,” President Marcos said after the meeting held on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit on Nov. 18.
Defense was also discussed during their meeting, the President said, pointing out the interconnectivity not only in the global economy but even political structures around the world that France would be involving itself in defense issues in the region.
