PRESIDENT Marcos Jr. left last night for a working visit to Abu Dhabi where he is set to meet today with President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates.
The President is expected to be back in Manila tomorrow.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, Justice Secretary Crispin Remulla and Agrarian Reform Secretary Conrado Estrella III were tapped to head the caretaker committee that would oversee the Office of the President and the Executive branch while the President is away.
The Presidential Communications Office over the weekend said Marcos was traveling “with a lean party but a high purpose” for the working visit.
The two leaders are expected to have “productive dialogues (that) will lead to agreements that will deepen the ties between the two countries, forging areas of cooperation that mutually harness their shared values and common interests.”
“While the President’s visit will be short, the goodwill and opportunities it will create will be substantial, resulting in stronger Philippine-UAE relations,” the PCO said.
During the visit, Marcos is expected to convey the gratitude of the Philippines to UAE leaders for tapping “Filipino talent, allowing it to flourish in an environment that fosters kindness, respect, and tolerance.”
