United States President Joe Biden will have a separate dialogue with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos during their scheduled trilateral meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio this April in Washington, DC to reaffirm their “ironclad alliance,” the White House announced on Tuesday.
At the summit in Washington, DC, the three leaders will also discuss trilateral cooperation “to promote inclusive economic growth and emerging technologies, advance clean energy supply chains and climate cooperation, and further peace and security in the Indo-Pacific and around the world,” the White House said.
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was on official visit to the Philippines last week with executives of 22 American companies. She announced new trade and investments in the Philippines worth more than $1 billion. Admiral John Aquilino, the commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command, also traveled to the Philippines this week.
Biden will likewise “reaffirm the ironclad alliance between the United States and the Philippines and emphasize US commitment to upholding international law and promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific.” The Department of Foreign Affairs summoned the Chinese Embassy’s deputy ambassador to convey a strongly worded protest.
