The Philippines should continue to support efforts to achieve lasting peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula after the historic April 27 summit between South Korea and North Korea, according to Sen. Loren Legarda.
Legarda, who chairs the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said the agreement reached between South Korea President Moon Jae-in and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un was a “huge step” to achieve peace in “one of the potentially most perilous sources of tension in the world today.”
MANILA – The Philippines should continue its support for efforts towards peace in the Korean peninsula, the head of the Senate foreign relations committee said Saturday.
Sen. Loren Legarda hailed Friday’s announcement of the leaders of North and South Korea to end the war on their divided peninsula as she called for Manila’s sustained support for the move.
Senator Loren Legarda has expressed her appreciation to International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Christine Lagarde for the IMF’s partnership with the Philippines and its work on climate change and other emerging issues such as gender diversity and income equality.
Inspired by Filipino National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin’s novel “The Woman Who Had Two Navels,” published in 1961, the Philippine Pavilion at the 16th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia confronts the tension between the vicissitudes of the past and the challenges of constructing contemporary
subjectivity.
