The stability provided by the current leadership allows the country to face multiple challenges, contribute to regional and global affairs and strengthen partnerships, such as the solid one it has had with the Philippines for many years.
Kumaran emphasized, “India stands shoulder-to-shoulder with our Filipino friends in working toward a shared objective of a peaceful and stable Indo-Pacific. We have and will continue to support each other in multilateral forms …. as two of the largest democracies in the region, the true strength of the Indo-Philippines partnership is in the relationship between our people.”
He ended on a hopeful note, seeing an even brighter future for India-Philippine relations. —CONTRIBUTED INQ
