Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique A. Manalo will travel to Munich, Germany, and London, UK, from February 14-19, 2025. His trip focuses on discussions with international partners regarding regional issues and strengthening bilateral ties, particularly concerning the rules-based international order and the rule of law.
In Munich (February 14-16), Secretary Manalo will participate in the 61st Munich Security Conference (MSC), a leading international security forum. He will lead a roundtable discussion on “Making Waves: Maritime Tensions in the Indo-Pacific” on February 15th. He also plans to meet with several counterparts on the sidelines of the MSC, including the US Secretary of State and the European Commission’s Vice-President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy.
Following the MSC, Secretary Manalo will travel to London for bilateral meetings with UK officials. He will also engage with Asia House, a think tank connecting businesses and governments, and participate in a dialogue with Chatham House, a prominent international affairs think tank.
These visits are significant, occurring after the Philippines’ 70th anniversary of relations with Germany in 2024 and preceding the 80th anniversary of diplomatic ties with the UK in 2026.
