@dti.philippines: The scale of Southeast Asia’s economy makes cooperation with External Partners increasingly important. At the 29th AEM Plus Three Consultation, ASEAN engaged China, Japan, and South Korea in strengthening economic ties that connect major markets and support greater regional resilience. As ASEAN Chair in 2026, the Philippines continues to create platforms where regional partners can work together and respond to a changing economic landscape. #ASEANPH2026 #SailASEAN #NavigatingOurFutureTogether #58thAEM #DTIBagongPilipinas
