07:14Pacific, we are united by shared values. Our is not just a friendship of the past, it is
07:24a promise to the future. Maraming Salamat Po.
07:36Thank you, sir. May I now request His Excellency, Mr. Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr., President of
07:44the Republic of the Philippines, to give his remarks to the media.
07:48Your Excellency, Prime Minister Sri Narendra Modi, Honorable Ministers, our friends from
07:55the media, Namaskar. A pleasant day to all. It is but fitting to begin with words of profound
08:03gratitude. Thank you, Excellency, our friend and host, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, for
08:11receiving us so graciously and hospitably on this state visit. It is my great pleasure
08:18to be in India. This sojourn makes me the fifth Philippine President to undertake a visit to
08:24this great country, and indeed, in the footsteps of my very own father, who was the first Philippine
08:31President to visit India in 1976. As emissaries of our people, I bring with me the enduring
08:38friendship of the Filipino nation. I carry the message of our solidarity with India, both
08:44over the tragic attack in Pahagang earlier this year, and in the broader fight against terrorism.
08:52Despite these challenges, I also bear felicitations on India's remarkable transformation and inexorable
08:59march to become Vixit Barat by 2047, under Prime Minister Modi's guiding hand.
09:08I come at a crucial juncture in our bilateral partnership. Today, our relationship enters a
09:16new epoch, as Prime Minister Modi and I formally launch the strategic partnership between Philippines
09:23and India. For the Philippines, this is a momentous decision, for we take a very considered path
09:30to such elevated partnerships. Today, India becomes only the fifth strategic partner for
09:36the Philippines. This new apex attests as much to the remarkably rapid growth, broadening and
09:43deepening of our 75-year-old bilateral relationship. The possibilities represented by the strong upward trajectory
09:53of our true economies, as it does to the growing alignment of our interests and views on the challenges
09:58and imperatives of our time. This was also the auspicious context in which Prime Minister Modi and I
10:06engage in far-reaching, productive and forward-looking discussions this past hour.
10:12We agreed to continue leveling up our collaboration in defense and security. We expressed satisfaction
10:19over the rapid pace of the Philippines' ongoing defense modernization and expanding capabilities
10:26and footprint of India's indigenous defense industry as a partner in this undertaking,
10:32exemplified by our Brahmos project. We concurred that we should be accompanied with intensified
10:40dialogue and exchanges between our defense establishments. So we have agreed to establish mechanisms
10:46for service-to-service talks, for information sharing and training exchanges amongst our militaries.
10:54We will foster naval and coast guard interoperability via port calls, cooperative activities and capacity building
11:03in the maritime domain. The economic sphere has been a steady engine driving our times for seven-plus decades.
11:10To our strategic partnership, Prime Minister Modi and I have charged our economic teams to shepherd our commerce now at the 3.3 billion U.S. dollars in the last year,
11:24towards a continued upward trajectory and expanded baskets of goods. To this end, we have decided to expedite the work that we are doing
11:35to force a bilateral preferential trade agreement. We looked at leveraging mutual opportunities to boost two-way investment.
11:43Our fast-growing, innovative private enterprises will play an important role in our common march towards progress and development,
11:52facilitating innovation, technology transfer, and upskilling and generating employment for our people.
12:00For over a millennium, civilizational, cultural, and people-to-people ties have bridged our geographic distance.
12:07They will continue to be the enduring foundation of our friendship, and we will enact policies to make sure that this is so.
12:18In this respect, I reiterated our introduction of a visa-free country entry privileges and extended our invitation for more Indian tourists to visit the Philippines.
12:28I thank Prime Minister Modi, in turn, for the introduction of a scheme to grant visa-free of charge to Filipino tourists traveling to India.
12:39We welcomed the resumption of direct flights from October this year, and renewed our commitment to sustaining and expanding such direct air connectivity.
12:48Sea lines of communication crisscrossed the Indian Ocean.
12:52Maritime trade, through and from the Far East and the Pacific, through the Indian Ocean, has and continues to underpin our prosperity and our people's aspirations that they have held for centuries.
13:07Safe navigation and security are important, especially for Filipino seafarers who are on almost every ship plying these historic and strategic sea lanes.
13:18I again thank the Indian people and the brave men and women of the Indian Navy, through Prime Minister Modi, for your kind rescue of our nationals in 2024, after a Houthi rebel attack.
13:33We recognize India's influence as first responder role in this critical area, and we want to work with you for a free and open Indo-Pacific.
