PBBM’s Tokyo visit sets blueprint for PH-Japan ties MBOpinions READ:
A classic word appropriately describes the essential accomplishment of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.’s recent five-day working visit to Japan. It established the blueprint for the future of Philippine-Japan relations.
As the chief architect of foreign policy, the President is responsible for ensuring that, in the conduct of relations with other states, the country’s highest interests are served. Speaking to media as he headed home from Tokyo earlier this week, President Marcos reflected: “We’re going to sit down, and we’re going to talk about each and every project that we have talked about to ASEAN, APEC, EU, New York, China, and now Japan.
Highlighting the Japan visit was the shared commitment of both countries to further strengthen security and economic ties. The possibility of forging a bilateral alliance like the Visiting Forces Agreement with the United States has also been broached – and the President quickly qualified that this must not stoke further tensions with China. He said that PH-Japan ties could evolve into a broader alliance with other Asian countries like the North Atlantic Treaty Organization .
