MANILA, Philippines — Inaayos na umano ang isang trilateral meeting sa pagitan ng Amerika, Japan at Pilipinas.
Sinabi ito ni Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel “Babe” Romualdez sa isang panayam ng mga mamahayag sa Jakarta Indonesia.
Subalit dahil puno ang schedule, sinabi ni Romualdez na patuloy pa rin itong pinaplantsa.
Si Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at US Vice President Kamala Harris ay nasa Jakarta, Indonesia para dumalo sa 43rd Association of Southeast Asian Summit.
Nabatid na isa sa mga pag-uusapan sa trilateral meeting ang South China Sea.
Kilalang kaalyado ng Pilipinas ang Amerika at Japan sa usapin sa South China Sea.
“Obviously the importance of that meeting was because of the fact that we’ve had discussions with both Japan and the United States on the issues surrounding our area, our territorial waters and of course the South China Sea. As I said, the economic cooperation between our countries, between the two countries with the Philippines is also very important for us. So the president was very eager to have that meeting. However, as I said, it is still being worked out. The schedule is really very tight for both—not only for us but also for the United States because of the very short stay of the Vice President,” ayon pa kay Romualdez.
Si Romualdez ay kasama sa delegasyon ni Marcos sa Indonesia.
