MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines has reopened bilateral talks with Turkiye as Manila seeks to narrow its ballooning trade deficit by boosting exports, easing market access issues and attracting more Turkish investments into the country.
These were among the points discussed during bilateral talks between Trade Undersecretary Ceferino Rodolfo and Turkish Deputy Trade Minister Mustafa Tuzcu on April 28— the first such meeting between the two countries since the pandemic.
Bilateral trade between the Philippines and Turkiye stood at $365 million in 2025, with the trade balance in favor of Manila.
