“I would like to again thank you for the air assets, the five TC-90s, UH-1H we received from your government,” Duterte told Abe in his opening remarks. “I also would like to thank your support for the creation of the Bangsamoro [Autonomous Region in Muslim] Mindanao and the Road Network [Development Project] that you have started over there,” Duterte told Abe.

“I regret that I had to go first. I had to cut short. I was not able to attend your Gala Dinner because I had to attend to some pressing matters back home,” he told the Japanese leader. “I am truly grateful for Mr. President’s participation in the ceremony and also I understand that because of the pressing issues that you had to go back to the Philippines, you have to shorten your visit,” he added.
