Marcos’ official visit to Washington is the first by a Philippine president in more than 10 years.
Before leaving for his four-day official visit to Washington, Marcos said yesterday that he would convey to Biden during their meeting today his determination to forge “an even stronger relationship” with the United States to “address the concerns of our times”, including issues related to the economy.
Biden and Marcos are expected to reach agreements on greater business engagement, as well as “military enhancements”, a senior Biden administration official said. “We’re seeking not to be provocative, but to provide both moral and practical support for the Philippines as they try to make their way in a complex Western Pacific,” the official said.Marcos’ US visit comes after the Philippines on Friday accused China’s coast guard of “dangerous manoeuvres” and “aggressive tactics” in the South China Sea.
