Comments of Russian MFA Press and Information Department in Connection with the Forthcoming Official Visit of A. del Rosario, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of The Philippines, to Moscow

462-07-03-2012

12 – 14 March, A. del Rosario, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of The Philippines, is expected to come to Russia with an official visit by invitation of S.V. Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.

Relations between Russia and The Philippines, which reached 35-years' landmark in 2011, demonstrate progressive dynamics. We deem the official visit of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Philippines to Russia to be an important event capable of giving additional impetus to bilateral cooperation on a wide range of areas, to deepen interaction on regional and global agenda at the international scene.

Agreements in principle about activating relations between Russia and The Philippines were reached by presidents of the two countries in the course of the meeting held in Saint Petersburg in June 2009. Signed in 2008, the treaty on cooperation between the upper chambers of parliaments of Russia and The Philippines laid a firm foundation to developing relations between supreme bodies of legislation. To revise positions on urgent matters of bilateral and international agendas, Deputy Ministers of Foreign Affairs regularly consult each other. Bilateral business councils established in 2010 – 2011 function as an efficient engine strengthening links between business communities.

In the context of discussing trade and economic cooperation, main focus will be set on further increase of volume of trade between Russia and The Philippines (in 2011, goods turnover amounted to USD 1.64 billion, having grown by 15% as compared to 2010) and extending a range of exported and imported articles.

Establishing mutually beneficial closer cooperation in innovative hi-tech industries, including today's medicine, telecommunications, alternative energy forms, as well as agriculture, timber industry, resource development, fishing industry is also promising.

There is also an opportunity to enhance connections in what refers to emergency response, labour migration, Central Election Committees of the two countries.

We reckon on the expansion of contacts in such areas as education, culture and tourism. Wide positive public reaction was given to the Days of Russian Culture held in The Philippines in 2011. The Days of Philippine Culture in Russia are planned for October 2012.

With positions of Russia and Philippines being close or the same on many international matters, one can hope for closer interaction in global affairs, including cooperation in multi-lateral formats, first of all, in the framework of the United Nations and integration structures of the Asia Pacific Region, such as Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, East Asia Summits, Asia Europe Forum, Regional Security Forum of the Association of South East Asian Nations and ASEAN – Russia dialogue partnership. We are conducive to subject-related joint effort with Philippine partners in order to build an open, transparent and equal architecture of security and cooperation in the Asia Pacific Region, including those in the context of events of Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum that will be held in Russia in 2012.
