Canada has identified the Philippines as the "core" of its Indo-Pacific strategy, according to its top diplomat who came to Manila to establish a "stronger diplomatic presence" here.
Why Ottawa made such an approach is to make sure both countries "can work together on security issues, on trade issues, [and] on people-to-people ties," Joly said in her opening remark ahead of a bilateral talk with Manalo. Joly's visit followed another top diplomat's visit from the Commonwealth. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong left Manila on Thursday after her three-day stay, where she announced new maritime cooperation initiatives and an increase in Official Development Assistance for the Philippines.
The two sides also agreed to launch new initiatives, such as on climate action and climate transition financing.
