Agreements include the establishment of new forums on energy and food security, planned investments in 5G networks, and the development of a nickel and cobalt facility.
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines and United States were poised to deepen economic and security ties after United States Vice President Kamala Harris launched at least 17 new initiatives between the two allies during her first trip to the Southeast Asian country.
Agreements unveiled by Harris during her trip include the establishment of new forums on energy and food security, planned investments in 5G networks, as well as the upskilling of Filipino workers to participate in high-tech manufacturing. Fresh funds would come on top of the over $82 million that has already been allocated for the agreement and would be used toward the completion of 21 projects.
When in force, the agreement will provide legal basis for the export of nuclear equipment to the Philippines.
