President Ferdinand Marcos arrived in Gyeongju, South Korea, on Thursday to participate in the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, just a day after returning from the ASEAN Summit in Malaysia.
The APEC summit, themed “Building Sustainable Tomorrow: Connect, Innovate, Prosper,” gathers leaders from 21 economies to discuss trade, digital transformation, and sustainability.
Marcos will focus on advancing the Philippines’ economic interests, strengthening ties with APEC members, and promoting digital transformation as a key driver of growth.
He is also set to join the APEC CEO Summit, meet Filipino communities, and engage with business leaders to explore trade and investment opportunities.
The President’s visit will conclude with a wreath-laying and tree-planting ceremony at the UN Memorial Cemetery to honor Filipino soldiers who fought in the Korean War.
