00:00A number of ASEAN member nations, to include the Philippines, are among the fastest-growing

00:04economies in the world, and ASEAN has been a model for the creation of trade blocs like

00:09the APEC and RCEP.

00:11This success is owed in large part to each nation's policies and the shared values

00:16and goals that have led to a rock-solid commitment to cooperation among all members.

00:22Our Klais Elpardilla has more on the President's trip next week to attend the ASEAN Summit

00:28meets in Vientiane, Laos, to hash over a number of regional and global issues and national

00:34interests.

00:39President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is scheduled to attend the 44th and 45th ASEAN Summits

00:44and related summits in Vientiane, Laos People's Democratic Republic next week.

00:49According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the President's participation is in response

00:54to an invitation from Laos Prime Minister Sonechai Siphandong.

00:58The theme of this year's ASEAN Summit is ASEAN Enhancing Connectivity and Resilience.

01:04The summit will serve as a platform for the leaders to exchange views on key regional

01:08and international issues, build consensus on matters of common concern, and provide

01:13policy directions for the ASEAN community for the years to come.

01:18President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is set to participate in 16 leaders-led engagements

01:23with various global leaders from October 9 to 11.

01:27During the summits, the President will push for the Philippines' interests within ASEAN.

01:33The Philippines will continue to uphold and promote Philippine interests in ASEAN.

01:38He will highlight our advocacies in connectivity and resilience, especially in strengthening

01:42the digital economy, supporting MSMEs, the promotion of renewable energy development,

01:48and addressing the impacts of climate change.

01:51The Chief Executive will also emphasize the country's sovereignty and rights in the

01:55West Philippine Sea in accordance with international law.

01:59This engagement follows recent incidents of Chinese incursions into Philippine maritime

02:04territories in the West Philippine Sea.

02:07The President will continue to defend the Philippine sovereignty and sovereign rights

02:11and jurisdiction in accordance with international law, including the 1982 UNCLOS and the 2016

02:18Arbitral Award.

02:19The Marcos administration remains committed in advancing a code of conduct in the West

02:24Philippine Sea.

02:25The desire to conclude that as soon as possible is always there.

02:29In fact, during the last summit and in the subsequent meetings, there has been this thrust

02:36to possibly conclude it in three years as a part of the initiative of Indonesia and

02:44the other members.

02:45Of course, it's not conclusive either.

02:50We've been working on the COC for the past 20 years.

02:54So let's see.

02:55The meetings are also expected to discuss regional and international issues impacting

03:01the Indo-Pacific region.

03:02Topics will include situation in Myanmar, the Korean Peninsula, Ukraine, and Gaza.

03:09The President will witness the signing of a Treaty of Amity and Cooperation by the Foreign

03:14Minister of Luxembourg, promoting the peaceful resolution of conflicts in accordance with

03:19international law.

03:20He will also participate in the ASEAN Zero Emission Community Leaders' Meeting, which

03:25advocates for a green economy.

03:27Additionally, there will be bilateral meetings involving Canada, New Zealand, Vietnam, and

03:33Japan.

03:34Despite a busy schedule, the President will find time to express his love and support

03:39for the Filipino community at a pre-arranged event in the Laotian capital, Kelay-Zalpardilla,

03:46for the new and better Philippines.
