Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr is scheduled to arrive in Japan for a visit expected to pave the way for closer security ties between the two countries.
Marcos’s first visit on Wednesday comes after he signed an agreement last week granting the United States greater access to its military bases. It also follows a trip to Beijing last month where the Philippine president told his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, that the Philippines would pursue an independent foreign policy.
Neil Imperial, the Philippines assistant secretary for Asian and Pacific Affairs, told a press briefing last week that Marcos wanted to “facilitate closer defence, security, political, economic and people-to-people ties” while in Japan.
