President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will travel to the United Arab Emirates on January 12 for a working visit upon the invitation of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Malacañang said.
In a press briefing, Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the President will attend the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week from January 11 to 15, where global leaders will discuss sustainability issues involving energy, water, food, finance, and the environment.
Marcos Jr. is also set to witness the signing of the Philippines’ first free trade deal with a Middle East country through the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, as well as a defense cooperation agreement with the UAE.
“Buo ang paniniwala ni Pangulong Marcos Jr. na magiging makabuluhan at kapaki-pakinabang para sa sambayanang Pilipino ang kanyang papalapit na pagbisita sa Abu Dhabi,” said Castro.IMT
