MANILA, Philippines — Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo and Trade Secretary Alfredo Pascual will travel to Australia to preside over the 6th Philippines-Australia Ministerial Meeting (PAMM).
“The 6th PAMM represents an important opportunity to chart the course of the newly established Strategic Partnership between the Philippines and Australia, building upon the recent meeting between President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Manila last month,” the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said in a statement yesterday.
Upon the invitation of Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong and Minister for Trade and Tourism Don Farrell, Manalo and Pascual will preside over the meeting on Oct. 10 in Adelaide, South Australia.
Key areas of discussion will include bilateral trade, investment and economic relations, security and maritime cooperation, development cooperation, people-to-people exchanges and regional and global issues of mutual interest.
