Filipinos may soon directly fly to Brussels in Belgium while Europeans can explore Manila and use it as an entry point to neighboring Southeast Asian countries after President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s meeting in Europe yielded discussions on the need to connect the two countries.
The Chief Executive is in Brussels from Dec. 12 to 14 to attend the The Association of Southeast Asian Nations-European Union Commemorative Summit, where he is expected to outline his administration’s goals at the Summit including agricultural, trade, and maritime ties. “When we talk about Brussels in our mind, it’s really Western Europe because, very clearly, Brussels is the center of that. And that is something of great interest,” he said.
Arnaud Feist, chief executive officer of Brussels Airport Company, said the Manila-Brussels direct flight is a “win-win” for both countries. “That’s something that we would like to take advantage of and explore in terms of making the areas more accessible… I think there’s a great deal of opportunity that would be advantageous for the both of us,” Marcos said.
