Senate President Zubiri, Senator Cayetano and the New Zealand Philippines Parliamentary Friendship Group are great friends of our country.
It was great to share perspectives on regional and global security issues and areas for cooperation.
Signing the Status of Forces Arrangement between our two countries is one concrete measure in this process at this time of increased instability.

I am so energised when I see New Zealand businesses competing in the world. Because when Kiwi companies do well, the more our economy can strengthen.

I just visited the fast growing Kiwi technology company Building Engineering Design Co here in Manila, which provides shared services in the Philippines supporting upscaling of New Zealand companies. Their office in Manila now has over 350 staff.

A strong energy sector means a stronger economy. I’ve just witnessed the signing of an energy transition cooperation and a strategic economic partnership agreement with the Ayala Group, the Philippines’ oldest and largest conglomerate, with diverse business interests, 60,000 employees and an asset base of around US$70 billion.
Peter Kell retweeted
This agreement is a step in the right direction for New Zealand to build a stronger energy sector which strengthens our economy.

Great to meet with members of the Makati Business Club and the Philippines New Zealand Business Council today to discuss business opportunities between New Zealand and the Philippines.

New Zealand and the Philippines share a strong desire to do more together and as our nation’s leaders, @bongbongmarcos and I are doing exactly that.
Elevating our relationship to a Comprehensive Partnership reflects our ambition to lift our relationship and advance our shared interests.

🇳🇿 is deeply concerned at further actions today by Chinese vessels towards 🇵🇭 at Second Thomas Shoal. These endanger lives at sea. It is fundamental to regional stability that maritime disputes are resolved peacefully in accordance with international law, particularly UNCLOS.
