Palace wants to collaborate more culturally and commercially with Mexico

The two nations decided to expand their commerce and cultural cooperation as part of their commemoration of their 70-year relationship.

Mexican Ambassador-designate Daniel Hernandez Joseph said the two nations can accomplish a lot "in trade, in culture, in science" as he presented his credentials to President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in Malacaang on Monday.

For his part, Marcos asserted that the new economy requires a different kind of labor with capabilities from what nations have hitherto relied on.

By changing the workforce and embracing modern technology, the Philippines and Mexico are collaborating to modernize the economy. The epidemic has changed connections and opportunities by teaching individuals to do business without making actual trips.

The national university of Mexico now offers Filipino studies, creating new chances for cooperation and information sharing. The establishment of embassies in Mexico City and Manila marked the start of diplomatic ties between the two nations.

With 1,206 Filipinos living in Mexico as of February, the Philippines and Mexico recently commemorated their 70th year of bilateral ties. With a value of USD 1.1 billion, Mexico was the Philippines' 23rd-largest trading partner in 2017. Equipment, electronics, food, and apparel are among the Philippine items that are being promoted. Additionally, Mexico wants access to the market for citrus, grapes, grapefruit, pork, and avocados.
