Phl, Canada sign visiting forces deal

The SOVFA with the Philippines, the first of its kind that Canada entered into with a country in the Indo-Pacific, was signed by Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro and Canadian Defense Minister David McGuinty in Makati following a bilateral meeting.

In his remarks, Teodoro said the SOVFA is a product of true convergence.

"It is a milestone for Canada, and it is an honor for the Philippines to be the first partner of Canada in this endeavor. And together, we will be stronger for the greater good of the Indo-Pacific," Teodoro said in a joint press conference with McGuinty.
