Marcos Jr.’s call with Biden, Ishiba rescheduled due to LA wildfires — Malacañang
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is scheduled to participate in a trilateral virtual meeting with US President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on January 13, a shift from the initially planned January 12.
The US requested the adjustment due to ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles.
The meeting aims to discuss the progress of the Philippines-Japan-US Trilateral Cooperation established during their summit in Washington D.C. on April 11, 2024.
Discussions are also expected to cover economic matters and regional and global developments.
The trilateral call builds upon previous maritime cooperation activities, with the US and Japan consistently condemning China's incursions into Philippine waters.
The three leaders last met in April 2024, where they announced a trilateral partnership to safeguard their peoples at sea and advance maritime security and safety.
