00:00I have just concluded a short but highly productive visit to the United Arab Emirates.
00:06We did this as we commemorate 50 years of very strong and friendly and rapidly progressing
00:14bilateral ties between our two countries.
00:17At this brief visit, I reaffirm the Philippines' commitment to further strengthen our bilateral
00:23ties progressing towards new spheres of engagement.
00:26I look forward to the implementation of several bilateral agreements in culture, energy transition,
00:32legal cooperation, artificial intelligence, digital economy, the improvement of government
00:38activities, visa waiver for holders of diplomatic, special and official passports, and investment
00:45cooperation.
00:46During my meeting with the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al
00:50Nayyad, I expressed the appreciation of the Philippines for UAE's government's care
00:56and respect for the Filipino community in the UAE.
01:00In response, the UAE President commended the Filipino people for their contribution towards
01:06UAE's development.
01:07I thank Sheikh Al Nayyad for understanding that my visit had to be cut short given the
01:12need to attend to relief and reconstruction activities in communities devastated by successive
01:18typhoons.
01:19I also conveyed appreciation for the UAE's government's constant humanitarian support
01:25for victims of these natural calamities.
01:27I invited His Highness to a return visit to the Philippines in the coming months to continue
01:33our dialogue and to explore further areas of cooperation.
01:36Maraming salamat po.
