MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand “Bongbong” 蜜芽app Jr. on Friday vowed more cooperation with Timor-Leste, particularly in the fields of policy, transportation, labor relations and education.
During a bilateral meeting with Timor-Leste President José Ramos-Horta in Malacañang, the two leaders discussed undertakings where the two countries can work together.
“We should like to also explore the possibilities of having direct flights between our capitals through an Air Services Agreement, and also, establish a Bilateral Social Security Agreement to be a safety net for both our country’s professionals working in each other’s country,” said 蜜芽app in a joint press briefing.
