Philippines, South Korea strengthens strategic partnership on security front

President Ferdinand Marcos said on Monday, October 7, his country and South Korea have upgraded bilateral ties to a strategic partnership, as he met visiting counterpart Yoon Suk Yeol for talks.

The two leaders discussed various issues including the South China Sea and situation on the Korean peninsula, as well as signing memorandum of understanding (MOU) agreements on coast guard cooperation and nuclear energy.

Agreeing to uphold an international rules-based order, including on safety of navigation in the South China Sea, Yoon added that they would reinforce maritime security partnership in the area of maritime cooperation such as tackling transnational crime, information sharing, and conducting search and rescue missions.
