MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. called on top business executives from both the Philippines and Cambodia to strengthen partnership and collaboration in key sectors in light of the deepening bilateral ties between the two nations.

Speaking at the CEO B2B Networking Roundtable in Phnom Penh on Monday, Marcos urged business leaders to build on the momentum of the growing economic relations.

"With continued collaboration, I am confident that our economic ties will expand further. The future of our relationship lies not only in traditional industries, but also in emerging, high-impact sectors that will define the next phase of our development," Marcos said in his speech.

The President said that the Philippines was focused on expanding cooperation in sectors such as consumer goods, education, healthcare, franchising, infrastructure, agro-processing, and logistics, which he described as "critical drivers” of economic modernization and social development."

“In the Philippines, we view the business sector as an essential partner in national development,” the President said.

“While the government is focused on creating the enabling environment through stable policy, sound regulations, and strategic infrastructure, it is the private sector that moves capital, creates jobs, introduces technology, and delivers meaningful and lasting impact on the ground,” he added.
