PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. arrived at Vaclav Havel International Airport on Wednesday afternoon (local time) for his four-day state visit to the Czech Republic.
The plane carrying President Marcos and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos landed at the airport at 5:43 pm local time or 12:43 am Manila time, accompanied by members of the Philippine delegation.
Marcos is expected to hold meetings with Czech Republic President Petr Pavel during his visit as well as three other constitutional heads of government, including Czech Republic Prime Minister Petr Fiala, Senate President Miloš Vystrčil, and Chamber of Deputies Speaker Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
It is expected that a Joint Communiqué will be signed to establish labor consultation mechanisms, aiming to enhance cooperation between the Philippines and the Czech Republic.
This is for the safe and orderly migration of Filipino workers and to provide a higher level of protection for their rights and welfare.
Both nations will commemorate their 50th bilateral relations anniversary since its establishment on October 5, 1973.
To recall, President Marcos visited other countries— prior to this trip to Germany and the Czech Republic, he visited Melbourne, Australia, to attend the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit from March 4-6.
From February 28 to 29, PBBM also traveled to the Australian capital of Canberra.
