President Marcos said the Philippines is dedicated to peaceful relations that makes for a conducive business climate for foreign investors.
Marcos stated this as he spoke at the Asia Summit 2023 on Wednesday, Sept. 13, as he attempted to convince investors to partner with the country.
"We also note that geopolitical stability and regional cooperation are cornerstones of our foreign policy. We are dedicated to peaceful relations and collaboration that foster a conducive investment and business climate," he said as he addressed the international community during the summit.
The President was telling future investors that the Philippines could bring various lessons of resiliency to the table.
"The Philippines has faced its share of challenges as with any country, but we emerge from them stronger and more resolute," he said.
"Our nation's resilience and ability to adapt are not just stories; they are lessons that we bring to the table, lessons that we share with partners who are invested in our shared future," he added.
He then invited the international community to "join us in shaping a brighter future for us all," saying that the Philippines is open for business.
Marcos flew to Singapore on his birthday for a "working visit," which included his engagement at the Asia Summit 2023 hosted by the Milken Institute.
