00:00 After his successful trip to Brunei Darussalam,
00:04 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is now in Singapore for a working visit.
00:10 Aside from strengthening the relationship between the Philippines and Singapore,
00:14 the President has another important mission there,
00:17 which is not only awaited by our country, but also by other nations.
00:22 From Singapore, we have the news set by Kenneth Paciente.
00:29 Angelic, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. said that his visit to the Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 is a big deal.
00:37 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. believes that his visit to the World Leaders in the 21st edition of the International Institute for Strategic Studies or IISS,
00:52 Shangri-La Dialogue 2024 here in Singapore, according to the President, is a big deal.
00:59 He is invited to the forum because it is a sign of the Philippines' presence in the region.
01:07 He is also invited to spread the position of the Philippines to other nations when it comes to the sovereignty of the territory.
01:15 And not only the Philippines, but this affects the region and it affects the world.
01:20 So what I will present in the Shangri-La Forum the day after tomorrow
01:29 is going to essentially try to explain the position of the Philippines,
01:36 both legally and geopolitically and diplomatically,
01:42 and how we see the ways forward for the Philippines and for the region.
01:51 The Executive Board also emphasized the importance of the West Philippine Sea
01:55 not only in the Indo-Pacific region, but also in the whole world.
01:59 It really involves the global economy already.
02:03 So that is why I think the Philippines' position is going to be important in the decision-making of many of the policy makers around the world.
02:15 According to Philippine Ambassador to Singapore Medardo Macaraig,
02:19 the President's keynote speech will be the starting point for the Shangri-La Dialogue 2024.
02:26 You don't invite somebody here to be the keynote speaker and the country he represents not being important.
02:35 So it's also something.
02:38 Before the President's visit to the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue,
02:42 he will have a series of meetings, including the bilateral meeting with the new President and Prime Minister of Singapore,
02:49 to continue the good relationship between the two countries.
02:53 It will be a reaffirmation of our close ties,
02:56 the reaffirmation of what we have agreed, our commitments,
03:01 and of course they will also try to move forward with some proposals on both sides.
03:08 The President also had a bilateral meeting with the Republic of Lithuania Prime Minister Ingrida Simonait.
03:15 President Marcos Jr. arrived here in Singapore at around 5 p.m.
03:20 where he met with VIPs at Changi Airport to mark his three-day working visit.
03:26 Angelique, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. started his activities today in a series of private meetings
03:34 and we will watch the development of the President's activities in his three-day working visit here in Singapore.
03:42 And for now, the latest, Angelique, back to you.
03:45 Alright, thank you very much Kenneth, patient.
