00:00A bilateral meeting by the Departments of Economy, Economic Planning and Development, formerly
00:06DEDA, and by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority, or TESTA.
00:13This demonstrates how much potential there is to develop in our bilateral relations.
00:20Through the foreign minister, I thank the Mojolian government for helping ensure that the rights
00:25and welfare of around 500 Filipinos now living in Mongolia are protected.
00:31I discuss with her our desire to forge cooperative frameworks that will better protect Filipinos
00:38in Mongolia.
00:40The Philippines and Mongolia are two of the fastest growing economies, not only in Asia, but in
00:46the world.
00:47The future of our bilateral partnership finds strength in our resource-reaching economies.
00:53I also responded positively to Mongolia's interest in learning from the Philippines' experience
01:00in the area of regional development and in pursuing English language training for Mongolia civil
01:07servants and rural officials in the Philippines.
01:10And in this regard, I have just exchanged with the minister, as I said, diplomatic notes pertaining
01:16to a pilot program for Mongolia to study English in the Philippines, which will be organized
01:23by the Technical Cooperation Council of the Philippines.
01:27Beyond our economic ties, the Philippines and Mongolia are Asian democracies, followed by shared values
01:33of freedom, human rights, and the rule of law.
01:37In this context, we reaffirm our shared interest in the evolving Indo-Pacific landscape and in defending
01:43the rules-based international community.
01:47As indicated in our joint statement, the board minister, but the second I emphasized the importance
01:52of adherence to the United Nations Charter and reaffirmed the commitment to the 1982 Manila
01:58Declaration on the Peaceful Settlement of Dispreets.
02:02We also reaffirmed our commitment to the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and to our shared
02:09vision of a world free of nuclear weapons.
02:14Just as the human beings pursues an independent foreign policy, I don't put much interest in
02:19doing this third-neighbor policy and the high importance it has been putting on its relations
02:24with the human beings.
02:26Yes.
02:31Thank you President journal Secretary-Ouen.
02:35As I know in these pious looking seven claims for tension over the nasentations
02:38of the住民 and the military balance.
02:40I would also like to sit in this position.
02:42With all these militaries and don't we all want to sit in?
02:46Hello.
02:49Thank you so much.
02:51ever deepened partnership between our two countries.
02:55Since the establishment of human-etic relations in 1973,
03:01we have laid a strong and enduring position.
03:05I'm confident that we are now entering a new and dynamic
03:09phase in our relationship, one that is guided by shared
03:15priorities and a deep commitment to tangible,
03:19people-centered cooperation.
03:23Our talks were both called looking and centered on translating
03:28our long-standing wood building to concrete outcomes.
03:33I'm pleased to note our initial commitment to strengthening
03:36the conflict and trade lines, including collaborative efforts
03:40to expand our trade volume and advance in the long-anticipated
03:44goal of establishing direct fights between Nagorno and the
03:50Philippines.
03:51Enhanced connectivity will not only promote trade and
03:55tourism, but also foster deeper ties between our peoples.
04:01We also exchanged views on the critical issues of food and
04:06labor security, areas of increasing global concern.
04:10In this context, we welcome the progress toward concluding a
04:15memorabilia of understanding on agricultural cooperation,
04:20which aligns with Mongolia's national food supply and security
04:24campaign.
04:25Likewise, the positive response to Mongolia's proposed labor
04:30agreement reflects our shared responsibility of the rights and
04:35welfare of the Filipino workers in Mongolia.
04:39We treated Mongolia's interests in becoming a sector of
04:43the direct partner of ASEAN.
04:45This effort presents a natural progression of progressive
04:49and Mongolia's engagement with the region.
04:53We are deeply grateful for the Philippines' full support for this
04:57aspiration, which affirms our shared commitment to regional peace,
05:02dialogue, and cooperation.
05:06Equally significant was our discussion on global challenges,
05:09including the urgent need for final action, disaster resilience,
05:14and nuclear disarmament.
05:16I think this opportunity to express some sincere gratitude in the
05:20Philippines for its support of Mongolia's bid to host the
05:2617th conference of other parties of the 17th of the UN convention
05:33to combat desert civilization in Poulomba during 2026.
05:38We believe this conference will support by the critical issue of land degradation
05:43and transportation, and the broadly impacts of climate change
05:48of the region and beyond.
05:50Today's discussions were held in a spirit of genuine friendship
05:56and mutual respect.
05:58They reflect the expanding breadth and depth of our relationship between
06:02rebellion with the Europeans.
06:04Looking ahead with all the remains that was within that,
06:08its commitment to what it also means to deliver meaningful lasting outcomes
06:14for our peoples, and contributes to more peaceful, prosperous,
06:20and sustainable future for the region and the world.
06:34But again I would讚 eyebrows.
06:35Although I'm not apologize,
06:36I think so.
06:37Yeah.
06:38My quiet tonight.
