MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is expected to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean)-Russia Summit in Kazan this month, Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
“We look forward to welcoming in Kazan the heads of all Asean member states, especially the President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr.,” Lavrov wrote in an article posted on the Russian Foreign Affairs Ministry website over the weekend.
He penned the article for the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Manila and Moscow on June 2.
Malacañang has yet to publicly confirm whether Marcos will attend the Asean-Russia Summit scheduled for June 17 to 18 in Kazan, considered Russia’s third capital. The city hosted the 2024 BRICS summit and has become a preferred venue for Russia’s multilateral diplomacy with the Global South.
