MANILA, Philippines – Pinasalamatan ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos Jr. si Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim sa naging malaking kontribusyon ng Malaysia sa peace process sa Mindanao.

“And we hope that this support that they have shown over the past few years will continue and will continue to contribute to the success of the peace process and the establishment of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region,” ayon sa Pangulo.

“I, therefore, invited Malaysia to continue supporting the Philippine government’s efforts to bring development and enhancement to the livelihood of Mindanaoans,” dagdag na wika ng Chief Executive.

Binanggit naman ni Anwar na sa ilalim ng liderato ni Pangulong Marcos, tinitingnan na ang malaking hakbang tungo sa kapayapaan sa Mindanao.

Tiniyak din nito kay Pangulong Marcos na ipagpapatuloy ng Malaysia ang pagbibigay ng tulong sa Bangsamoro people.

“And I think it’s only our duty as a good neighbor to support and facilitate the process and I stand guided whatever things need to be done at the bilateral, multilateral level to support this endeavor,” ang wika ni Anwar.

“It has to succeed in the interest of the Philippines and Malaysia and the region and then utilize this enormous potential to the benefit of our people,” aniya pa rin.

Kapuwa naman sinang-ayunan ng Pilipinas at Malaysia na muling pasiglahin ang trade exchanges at pagbutihin pa ang pagtutulungan sa food security at digital economy.

“With the ongoing impacts of the pandemic and geopolitical upheavals challenging our national economies and the prospects of a global recovery, we agreed to reinvigorate trade and investment exchanges, with a special focus on the halal industry, agriculture and food security, and the digital economy,” ani Pangulong Marcos.

“Our shared historic roots are deep, and our cultures enjoy natural affinity to one another,” lahad ng Pangulo.

Siniguro naman ni Anwar na ang bagong administrasyon sa Malaysia ay masayang mas palakasin pa ang kolaborasyon nito sa Pilipinas sa iba’t ibang aspeto.

Sinabi pa ni Anwar na ang pagtutulungan sa pagitan ng dalawang bansa ay multisectoral kung saan saklaw ang “trade and investment, education, health, agriculture, health, tourism, and culture.”

“We also discussed areas for further collaboration – new and important sectors such as halal industry, food security which you have placed so much importance and have actively taken impressive strides in this direction, digital economy, and among the key areas that I proposed as potential cooperation,” ayon kay Anwar.

“The President and I also agreed that both countries should intensify efforts to increase the volume of trade and investments. We had a very good beginning but there is no excuse why we can’t further increase both trade and investment. That would be of tremendous benefit to both our countries,” dagdag na pahayag ni Anwar.
