MANILA\u2014President Rodrigo Duterte is scheduled for an official visit to Myanmar on March 19 and 20, and then to the Kingdom of Thailand on March 20 to 22.<\/p>\n

The trips are part of the President’s introductory visits to neighboring Asian countries.<\/p>\n

“Myanmar and Thailand are the only two remaining countries in the region that the President has not yet visited,” Foreign Affairs spokesman Charles Jose announced in a pre-departure briefing in Malaca\u00f1ang on March 16, Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to Jose, the President of Myanmar himself, U Htin Kyaw, had invited President Duterte to visit the country. President Duterte is set to have bilateral talks with President U Htin Kyaw, who will also host an official dinner in honor of the Philippine President. While in Myanmar, President Duterte will meet other high-level government officials, including State Counsellor and Foreign Minister Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, and Commander-in-Chief of Defense Services, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing.<\/p>\n

The President will also touch base with the Filipino community in Nay Pyi Taw, the capital of Myanmar.<\/p>\n

“During these occasions, the President makes it a point to apprise our countrymen about his administration’s priority programs and developments in the Philippines,” DFA spokesman said. Myanmar is home to approximately 1,800 Filipinos.<\/p>\n

Data from the Embassy show that many Filipinos are employed in foreign firms and international organizations.<\/p>\n

Philippines-Myanmar diplomatic relations are over 60 years old, with ties formally established in 1956. The Philippine embassy in Rangoon, now Yangon, was opened in 1958.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Myanmar is also a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), having joined the group in 1997 on the 30th anniversary of the ASEAN.<\/p>\n

President Duterte last visited Thailand in November 2016, when he flew to Bangkok to pay his last respects to the late Thai monarch, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.<\/p>\n

“During this visit to Thailand, the President and Thai Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-Cha are scheduled to hold a bilateral meeting, where they are expected to discuss issues of mutual concern, including political, economic, agriculture, energy, education, and defense cooperation,” Jose said.<\/p>\n

Duterte and the Thai officials are also expected to discuss ways to further increase the levels of two-way trade and investments between the countries, the welfare of Filipinos living and working in Thailand and the Philippines’ chairmanship of ASEAN in 2017.<\/p>\n

A number of bilateral agreements are expected to be signed during the President’s visit to Thailand.<\/p>\n

Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Thailand were formally established in June 1949, and have steadily expanded and deepened since then.<\/p>\n

The President is also set to meet the more than 16,000 Filipinos living and working in Thailand.<\/p>\n

“The visits to Myanmar and Thailand demonstrate our leader’s resolve to forge stronger relations with our neighbor and cooperate closely with them in various areas of endeavor,” Jose said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
