Manila Bulletin
|October 28, 2025
The Philippines and Japan reaffirmed their deepening partnership in defense, economic, and regional cooperation as President Marcos held his first bilateral meeting with newly elected Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae on the sidelines of the 47th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit and Related Summits in Malaysia on Sunday, Oct. 26.
During their meeting, Marcos personally congratulated Takaichi on her recent election, saying he looked forward to working closely with Japan as both countries prepare to mark the 70th anniversary of the normalization of their diplomatic relations in 2026.
Both leaders agreed to continue strengthening the Philippines-Japan strategic partnership toward realizing a “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” and promoting peace and stability in the region.
"The two leaders emphasized the importance of continued engagement and collaboration in trade and reaffirmed commitment to multilateralism and strengthening of the international rules-based order," Malacañang said.
