3 agreements, ASEAN trade eyed
President Marcos leaves today, Sept. 7, for a three-day state visit to Cambodia, where he is expected to raise the plight of Filipinos affected by scam hubs, undocumented work, and other cross-border crimes alongside efforts to strengthen trade and cooperation in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Sept. 7-9 trip is the first Philippine state visit to Cambodia in nearly nine years, reciprocating Prime Minister Hun Manet's visit to Manila earlier this year.
DFA spokesperson Angelica Escalona said the President will take up the concerns of 7,500 Filipinos in Cambodia, most of whom are in the education and service sectors.
