UKRAINIAN President Volodomyr Zelenskyy received a warm welcome at Malacañang Palace upon his arrival for a bilateral meeting with President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. on Monday, June 3, 2024.
The visit comes after his participation in the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where he raised concerns about China’s alleged support for Russia in undermining a peace summit in Switzerland.
Zelenskyy’s presence in Manila underscores his proactive approach in seeking international backing amid Ukraine’s ongoing conflict with Russia.
While initially hoping to meet Marcos in Singapore, their schedules didn’t align, prompting this important rendezvous in the Philippines.
