President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. is set to attend the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in South Korea from October 30 to November 2, 2025.
On this global stage, he will pitch the Philippines as not just ready for investment, but as a reliable partner and strategic hub for high-value industries like semiconductors, green energy and digital transformation.
Marcos’ agenda includes:
- Delivering a keynote address at the APEC CEO Summit to business leaders and policy makers.
- Engaging in bilateral meetings with executives from advanced manufacturing and renewables, underscoring the Philippines’ openness and transparency.
- Reinforcing the country’s strategic partnership with South Korea, ahead of the meeting in the host country.
The overall message: the Philippines wants not only capital and projects, but trust, predictability and long-term partnership in the Asia-Pacific economy.
