Honored to address the 31st Nikkei Forum on the Future of Asia today in Tokyo. Against today’s "polycrisis," working together is a strategic imperative. Rooted in our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with Japan and our Philippine ASEAN Chairship, we choose collective action, mutual respect, and cooperation over coercion.
Through the spirit of kizuna and bayanihan, let’s weave a resilient, peaceful, and prosperous future for all of Asia.
