President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday said he had "promising" meetings with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong over the weekend.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Marcos said they discussed ways to enhance collaboration between the Philippines and Singapore.
He said they expressed their commitment to work together to address common global challenges.
"Our countries can expect enhanced collaboration on multiple fronts to address common global challenges," Marcos said.
Last Sunday, the President and the First Lady, Liza Araneta-Marcos, watched the Ferrari team clinch the F1 Grand Prix trophy. Mrs. Marcos shared some photos at the race on her social media pages.
