Philippine senators led by Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III meet with their French counterparts led by the President of the French Senate, Senator Gerard Larcher. Senator Loren Legarda, President and Founding Member of the Philippines-France Inter-Parliamentary Friendship Association, said that they had an extensive discussion on terrorism and climate change—two issues that greatly affect national security. Senator Larcher also congratulated the Philippines for ratifying the Paris Agreement. This year, the two nations celebrate 70 years of bilateral relations.
