THE Chargé d’Affaires, ad Interim of the British Embassy made a courtesy call to Davao City Mayor Sebastian Z. Duterte on July 25, 2024, at Matina Enclaves Residences. Mr. Alistair White was accompanied by Ms. Noelle Agudelo and Ms. Anna Snowgale Rupa, both from the British Embassy in Manila.
The Mayor welcomed the idea of having the Embassy pilot projects and having Davao City as their ‘laboratory’, particularly for collaborations concerning rural settlers’ development and towards fostering dialogue on alternative politics and tourism.
Mr. White expressed his intent to visit Davao again and other parts of Mindanao for opportunities among young people. Having personally attended the Mindanao Development Forum, he relays that the British Embassy is keen on youth development programs and economic prospects for Mindanao.
