The Palace official said the Philippines is looking forward to further strengthen relations with South Korea under its new president, noting the deep bilateral ties between the two countries.

“The Philippines and the Republic of Korea have strong, comprehensive and long-standing bilateral ties. Our two countries have extensive cooperation on political, economic, cultural and people-to-people exchanges in the bilateral, regional, and multilateral spheres,” he said.

“The Philippines is committed to further enhancing the relations with the ROK under President-elect Moon. We wish him all the best,” Abella said.

Bilateral relations between the two countries started on March 3, 1949 when the Philippines became the fifth country to recognize the Republic of Korea.

Currently, South Korea is a major trading partner of the Philippines and its citizens comprised the most number of tourist arrivals in the country, topping more than 500,000 in 2016.
