Vietnam President To Lam arrives in PH for 2-day state visit

Vietnamese President Tô Lâm arrived in the Philippines on May 31 for a two-day state visit, the first by Vietnam's top party leader, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations. Talks with President Marcos Jr. will cover trade, food security, defense and maritime affairs — a signal of deepening Southeast Asian alignment on supply chain and regional security priorities that tech and logistics executives operating in the ASEAN corridor should track.
