Manalo said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that the cooperation between Russia and the Philippines should be expanded in areas ranging from "economy to investment, trade and even possible security cooperation. So all of these areas, I think, need to be tapped more." "I think our officials also should probably have, you know, more exchanges, more meetings to see how we can move forward," Manalo said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.When asked whether he has any scheduled meetings with the Russian counterpart, Manalo said that nothing was officially planned yet, noting, however, that their embassy is in daily contact with officials in Russia.

Filipino Foreign Minister Calls for Enhanced Economic, Security Cooperation With Russia
00:23 GMT 24.09.2023 (Updated: 10:39 GMT 24.09.2023) UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - Philippine Foreign Minister Enrique Manalo told Sputnik that bilateral cooperation with Russia in areas of trade, investment, economy and security should be tapped more.
Manalo said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that the cooperation between Russia and the Philippines should be expanded in areas ranging from "economy to investment, trade and even possible security cooperation. So all of these areas, I think, need to be tapped more."
"We have extensive number of agreements with Russia, and I think the key is to see how we can implement them more effectively, so we do have quite a number of existing arrangements," Manalo added.
"I think our officials also should probably have, you know, more exchanges, more meetings to see how we can move forward," Manalo said on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
When asked whether he has any scheduled meetings with the Russian counterpart, Manalo said that nothing was officially planned yet, noting, however, that their embassy is in daily contact with officials in Russia.
