I am pleased to welcome today Prime Minister Christopher Luxon to the Philippines
00:05.5
for his first official visit following our brief yet really quite constructive conversation
00:13.2
at the sidelines of the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne last month.
00:19.4
Prime Minister Luxon is no stranger to our country,
00:22.9
as you have visited our country many times as part of your work in the private sector.
00:30.8
I think it's also useful to point out that one of the first stops that the Prime Minister made was to Jollibee,
00:39.3
which immediately qualifies you as an honorary Filipino.
00:47.0
Now you're back in Manila as part of the maiden engagement in Southeast Asia,
00:53.6
and I sincerely hope that you will enjoy your stay and work with us
00:57.9
towards elevating the level of friendship,
01:00.0
partnership, and cooperation between our two countries.
01:02.9
We established a formal diplomatic relations in 1966,
01:06.9
and since then we have pursued cooperation on matters of mutual interest,
01:11.6
resulting in 30 bilateral agreements in the fields of defense, development, agriculture, education, energy, labor, food security, visa, environment, and trade, amongst others.
01:28.1
Throughout the decades,
01:29.6
we have remained committed to this friendship through a trade relationship with immense untapped potential,
01:37.1
a strong commitment to international law, and a robust people-to-people tie.
01:42.9
These enhanced our deep connections that are already rooted in our common Austronesian heritage
01:53.5
and our shared realities as archipelagic and maritime nations.
01:59.6
As fellow Pacific states,
02:01.6
we also share the challenges and the risks of climate change and the sea level rise,
02:06.8
as well as natural hazards such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.
02:12.0
No single country can manage the effects of these phenomena alone,
02:16.5
and this is a call for greater collaboration on this regard.
02:21.0
So as mature democracies and responsible states,
02:24.9
both our countries uphold similar values,
02:27.8
including our shared respect,
02:29.6
respect for international law such as the 1982 United Nations on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea,
02:39.6
and respecting and upholding the rule of law is a matter of concern not only for the Philippines and New Zealand but absolutely certainly the rest of the international community as well.
02:52.3
Underscoring our Pacific friendship is the strong people-to-people connection between the Philippines and the Kiwis.
02:59.6
The 100,000 Filipinos in New Zealand continue to contribute immensely to both our countries, economies, and our societies.
03:08.6
So I take this opportunity to emphasize the intent of the Philippines to continue working with New Zealand
03:17.7
on promoting regional peace and security and in safeguarding the rule of law under the framework of international law.
03:26.3
Let's make sure that this visit,
03:29.6
be a signal of a re-energized bilateral relationship between the Philippines and New Zealand
03:36.6
that will see us enhance our existing cooperation and expand further on areas of great potential amidst an ever-changing regional global landscape.
03:47.6
Thank you very much.
03:48.6
And once again, welcome to the Palace, welcome to the Philippines.
03:52.4
I am very happy to welcome you,
03:56.3
to see the fruits of our, I suppose they're called pull-asides, I pulled you aside from the other side.
04:05.3
So thank you very much, Mr. Prime Minister.
04:07.3
Well, Mr. President, can I just say how delightful it is to be with you again and I just want to say thank you.
04:12.3
My wife Amanda and I have so enjoyed getting to have a quick conversation with you and First Lady Lisa and we liked you immediately.
04:18.3
And so it is so good that we've been able to come here and after such a quick period of time, actually, and bring our delegations together.
04:24.3
But I think as relatively new leaders, I think it's a good thing that we've been able to come here and after such a quick period of time, actually, and bring our delegations together.
04:25.3
But I think as relatively new leaders, wanting to breathe new life into the Philippines-New Zealand relationship,
04:30.3
it's a good time for us to come together and talk about the things that are important to both of us.
04:35.3
Obviously, you know, for New Zealand, we are deeply committed to re-energising our relationships across the Southeast Asia.
04:42.3
For Philippines in particular, we look at this market and this country and we think it's a fantastic future that you have.
04:48.3
110 million people, a fast-growing economy, young, talented people inside the Philippines with huge potential.
04:55.3
So the ability, and that's how I feel.
04:57.3
So what are your family's favorites when it comes to Jollibee?
05:02.3
It was the chicken joy. I got a text from my wife and my daughter, so I had to try that. So we did that. Then we got the spaghetti going.
