Philippines Foreign Minister Enrique Manalo on Monday called on the United States and China to manage their strategic rivalry with dialogue and transparent engagement where possible.
WASHINGTON - Washington and Manila will need to discuss what the US may do with its access to certain military bases in the Philippines, Foreign Minister Enrique Manalo said on Monday.
He told Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies that the so-called 2+2 meeting between the longtime allies on Tuesday "highlights the positive trajectory of our bilateral relations, which is happening now at all levels." "We basically identified the sites. There will have to be, as in the case of the other sites, discussions on terms of reference, the type of activities ... these all have to be agreed on ... It will all depend on how discussions go."
US-Philippines relations have warmed considerably under Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr, but Manila treads a delicate path with China, the region's economic powerhouse.
