00:00Today, I hope to discuss the ways in which we can maximize our existing cooperation on
00:16diverse fields of mutual interest and explore new ways to collaborate while leveraging our
00:22growing economies, the dynamism of our people, and our unyielding commitment to regional
00:28peace and stability.
00:30I am particularly elated that our respective business leaders have engaged with each other
00:36in recent business forums both here in the Philippines and in Cambodia to forge new pathways
00:42in spurring commercial ties between our two countries for the benefit of us both.
00:48Finally, let me take this opportunity to once again express my gratitude for the grant of
00:55royal pardon to 13 Filipino surrogates and to your government for the assistance given
01:02to them during their time in Cambodia.
01:05We will never forget this act of magnanimity from His Majesty, a testament to the strong
01:11relations between our two countries.
01:14Rest assured, we will continue to stand with you in the fight against transnational crimes
01:20and their adverse effects on our peoples and on our communities.
01:25Over the decades, our relationship has flourished, built on mutual respect and shared interests.
01:31Our cooperation spans across multiple sectors, from defense and security to trade, investment
01:37economy and people-to-people exchanges.
01:40We are keen on taking our collaborations to new heights.
01:44Today, I look forward to our discussions to deepen our engagement and unlock new opportunities
01:51for shared growth and prosperity for our two nations and beyond.
