BPM Chief Marcin Przydacz summarized the ongoing visit of the President of the Republic of Poland and his spouse to the Philippines. He wrote that it included a conversation with President Marcos about bilateral relations, especially economic ones, and about Poland's future in the G20 group. He noted that the Philippines chaired ASEAN this year and was set to host a summit of the organization with the participation of the President of the United States in a few weeks. According to Przydacz, Poland's voice before this meeting was important. Przydacz wrote that the President took a group of entrepreneurs to the Philippines, and during the visit, a Polish-Filipino business summit in the IT sector took place, which was patronized by President Nawrocki. He expressed hope that the meeting would yield positive results. He also mentioned the President's lecture at the University of Santo Tomas, aimed at young Filipinos, which was intended to present the potential of Poland and its economy as well as the country's growing political role. Przydacz assessed that the President's contacts with Manny Pacquiao, an eight-time world champion, former senator, and then minister for poverty alleviation, helped promote Poland and the Polish brand in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. He wrote that he considered this aspect of the visit to be particularly effective and emphasized that Poland should be promoted in a modern way. #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)

BPM Chief Marcin Przydacz stated that President Karol Nawrocki, along with his wife, was to travel to the Philippines. He explained that the visit was part of Poland's activities in the G20 and was intended to facilitate discussions with Southeast Asian countries. The Philippines was not a member of the G20, but this year it chaired ASEAN, which brings together countries in the region. Przydacz noted that before the G20 summit in Miami, Nawrocki wanted to engage in discussions with representatives from Global South countries. Following the visit to Southeast Asia, contacts were planned in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. He added that one of the goals was to showcase a broader perspective of Poland that extended beyond its immediate neighborhood, Europe, and relations with the United States. As a second important reason for the visit, he highlighted the development of economic relations. According to him, the Philippines was a dynamically growing market that Polish entrepreneurs were interested in, particularly in terms of investment. He mentioned the agri-food industry, the ICT sector, and the defense sector. Przydacz defined the purpose of the visit as a political and economic rapprochement between Poland and the Philippines. #Polska #Filipiny #G20 (translated)

Recebi, na manhã desta terça (11), a chanceler filipina Maria Theresa Lazaro. A visita ocorre no marco dos 80 anos das relações bilaterais entre Brasil e Filipinas, e retribui a viagem do ministro Mauro Vieira a Manila, em agosto de 2024. A chanceler me transmitiu convite para participar da Cúpula da ASEAN, que ocorrerá sob a presidência de turno das Filipinas, nos próximos dias 11 e 12 de novembro. Destaquei nossa intenção de ampliar e diversificar o comércio bilateral. As Filipinas são o maior mercado global para a carne suína brasileira. Reforcei também o interesse brasileiro em ampliar as relações na área de defesa e o potencial de cooperação na área de semicondutores, um dos principais produtos de exportação das Filipinas. 📸 Thiago Rosa/PR #RelaçõesInternacionais #Comércio #Cooperação

De Myanmarese juntaleider Min Aung Hlaing werd onlangs in Thailand met veel eerbied ontvangen, ondanks internationale veroordelingen van zijn regime en een aanhoudingsbevel wegens oorlogsmisdaden, wat wijst op een verschuiving in diplomatieke relaties in de regio en hernieuwde pogingen van Myanmar om zijn isolement te doorbreken. #Myanmar #MinAungHlaing #ASEAN
