The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) backed President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s “friend to all” foreign policy, emphasizing its commitment to forge relationships and strengthen alliances with the global community.
“Sinabi rin ng Pangulo na (The President said) we are friends to all and enemies to none. Tunay po na ang diplomasya, ‘yan ang tunay na adikain ng Kagawaran ng Ugnayang Panlabas (diplomacy, that’s the goal of the Department of Foreign Affairs),” DFA Secretary Maria Theresa Lazaro said during the post-State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) discussions in San Juan City on Wednesday, July 30.
“Kami po siguro ang talagang nagdadala nitong mga salitang ito dahil kami po ang nakikipag-usap sa lahat ng mga bansa sa buong mundo (We carry the weight of these worlds because we engage with all countries in the world),” she added.
