Several bilateral meetings have also been lined up including a possible meeting with US President Joe Biden.
“This is the first time that he will be addressing the UN – which is basically introducing himself to the world and the western world, specially, and secondly, to have economic meetings that will bring him investments to the Philippines,” Romualdez told the Foreign Correspondents Association of the Philippines in a briefing.
