I am grateful to the Philippines for supporting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, for its clear position on Russia's aggression against our country, as well as for supporting important UN resolutions. Ukraine intends to open an embassy in Manila this year to strengthen bilateral cooperation.
The parties discussed the inaugural Global Peace Summit and the importance of representing Southeast Asian countries. We appreciate that the Philippines will participate in the summit.
