Our journey together was born out of common purpose. Both our countries were founding members of the United Nations and worked together to build institutions and laws that today govern our world. Both countries are long-standing and storied democracies, both having made important contributions to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and definitions of the fundamental freedoms that underpin our societies.
We have deepened our political dialogue. Over the last two years, our leaders have met three times, and ministers and secretaries have made more than a dozen visits back and forth between our two countries, including most recently the visit of Foreign Affairs Secretary Manalo to Canada in May. The level and frequency of such engagement are testament to the value our governments see in the relationship.
Through our development cooperation, we are helping to implement the peace agreement in the BARMM, open new opportunities for Philippine farmers, improve disaster resilience and combat the effects of climate change. We are also working together to increase prospects for our business communities and build a more prosperous and inclusive Indo-Pacific. To that end, there will be an integrated Team Canada Trade Mission to the Philippines in December – bringing hundreds of representatives from Canadian companies, business associations and government, to build connections to enhance two-way trade and investment for Canadians and Filipinos.
