President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is pleased to welcome the Hon Anthony Albanese MP, Prime Minister of Australia, for his upcoming official visit to the Philippines, scheduled from Sept. 7 to 8.

This visit marks a significant milestone as the first visit by an Australian Prime Minister since 2003.

It follows a series of high-level engagements earlier this year between the Philippines and Australia, underscoring the shared commitment of both nations to advance the trajectory of their multifaceted partnership.

The Philippines and Australia share a rich history of friendship and collaboration, which has flourished through the decades.

Marcos’ meeting with Prime Minister Albanese on Sept. 8 is anticipated to reinforce this partnership, ushering in a new era of closer cooperation across key sectors, such as defense and security, trade, economic development, and maritime affairs. PND
