00:00I have just concluded a short but highly productive visit to the United Arab Emirates.

00:06We did this as we commemorate 50 years of very strong and friendly and rapidly progressing

00:14bilateral ties between our two countries.

00:17At this brief visit, I reaffirm the Philippines' commitment to further strengthen our bilateral

00:23ties progressing towards new spheres of engagement.

00:26I look forward to the implementation of several bilateral agreements in culture, energy transition,

00:32legal cooperation, artificial intelligence, digital economy, the improvement of government

00:38activities, visa waiver for holders of diplomatic, special and official passports, and investment

00:45cooperation.

00:46During my meeting with the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al

00:50Nayyad, I expressed the appreciation of the Philippines for UAE's government's care

00:56and respect for the Filipino community in the UAE.

01:00In response, the UAE President commended the Filipino people for their contribution towards

01:06UAE's development.

01:07I thank Sheikh Al Nayyad for understanding that my visit had to be cut short given the

01:12need to attend to relief and reconstruction activities in communities devastated by successive

01:18typhoons.

01:19I also conveyed appreciation for the UAE's government's constant humanitarian support

01:25for victims of these natural calamities.

01:27I invited His Highness to a return visit to the Philippines in the coming months to continue

01:33our dialogue and to explore further areas of cooperation.

01:36Maraming salamat po.
