🇷🇺🇵🇭 June 2 marks 4️⃣9️⃣ years since the day our country and the Republic of the Philippines established diplomatic relations. It was on this day in 1976 that the two nations formalised their relations during the visit by President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos to Moscow.
🤝 For nearly half a century, the friendshipbetween our countries and peoples has stood the test of time. The experience of cooperation accumulated throughout the years has shaped the friendly nature of bilateral ties based on mutualrespect and pragmatism. The #Philippines remains one of Russia’s key partners in the #AsiaPacific region.
Dialogue is actively pursued at the governmental and interregional levels. Philippine official delegations regularly attend major international events in Russia. Notably, in September 2023, a delegation from the Philippines, led by Mayor of Cebu City Michael Lopez Rama, visited the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. Our Philippine friends have also participated in the St Petersburg International United Cultures Forum and the World Youth Festival in Sochi.
The framework of our interregional ties continues to strengthen through bilateral agreements and joint programmes. The Philippines' Cebu City has established sister-city relations with the city of Vladimir. In 2022, Cebu and Vladivostok signed a cooperation agreement. In 2024, the same deal was reached between the Cebu Province and St. Petersburg, covering trade, economy, science, technology and humanitarian issues, thus, complementing the existing partnership programmes between our respective capitals.
Our countries benefit from the efficient cooperation of legislative bodies, ministries, and governmental agencies. In November 2024 in Manila, Russia and the Philippines held consultations between the Foreign Ministries that resulted in the important agreements on the bilateral, regional and global agendas being reached.
📈 Trade and economic interaction remains an important component of bilateral relations. As of 2024, our mutual trade reached nearly $600 million. In October 2023, on the margins of the meeting of the intergovernmental Russian-Philippine Joint Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation, a business forum was held, which brought together over 160 participants. Huge experience of constructive cooperation between our countries has been accumulated in such areas as energy, agriculture, transportation and tourism.
Cultural and humanitarian exchanges play a particularly important role in our relations. Russian ballet performances, including plays staged by renowned choreographers, always gather full halls in the leading theatres of the Philippines. In February 2024, The Philippine cybersports team Neon Esports successfully performed at the “Future Games” in Kazan. Furthermore, Russian citizens enjoy 30-day visits to the Philippines as part of the visa-free programme.
🌐 Moscow and Manila closely coordinate their actions on various international fora, including within #RussiaASEAN Dialogue. We especially value our aligned efforts at the #UnitedNations: the Philippines was among the 54 like-minded countries that co-authored Russia-sponsored resolution"Eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War", adopted on March 4 during the 79th Session of the UN General Assembly (#UNGA79).
🇷🇺🤝🇵🇭 On the occasion of our joint anniversary, we extend our sincere and warm congratulations to our Philippine colleagues. We appreciate the many decades of fruitfulcooperation with our partners. We are confident that the 50th anniversary of our diplomatic relations in 2026 will be marked by numerous meaningful joint initiatives!

🚀 Philippines to Offer Fuel Subsidies Amid Iran Conflict Fallout
The Philippine government is set to provide fuel subsidies to public transport drivers starting next week. Bloomberg posted on X that this initiative is part of the country's efforts to mitigate the ongoing impact of the conflict in Iran. The subsidies aim to alleviate the financial burden on drivers affected by rising fuel costs due to the geopolitical tensions. This move is expected to support the public transport sector, which has been struggling with increased operational expenses. The government has not specified the duration or the total amount allocated for these subsidies.

🚀 Barclays Analysts: Asian Central Banks Likely to Maintain Monetary Policy Amid Middle East Conflict
On April 13, Barclays Bank's fixed income, foreign exchange, and commodities research team released a report suggesting that Asian central banks may keep their monetary policies unchanged in the short term due to ongoing Middle East conflicts. According to Jin10, the analysts noted that the Monetary Authority of Singapore is likely to maintain its current policy this week, expressing concerns over the risks of extreme negative growth rather than inflation. Meanwhile, Barclays believes that unless the U.S. dollar significantly depreciates against the Indonesian rupiah before the upcoming Bank Indonesia meeting, the Indonesian central bank is unlikely to quickly resume its rate-cutting cycle. Additionally, the central banks of Thailand and the Philippines, which are also holding meetings this month, are expected to remain on hold.
