November 16: SAIS Philippines Roundtable on the President Duterte Administration’s Foreign Policy
The Duterte Foreign Policy: Return of Equi-balancing
The Duterte Administration has sought to expand partnerships during visits to China, Japan, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand and Malaysia. President Duterte’s recent actions indicate the Philippines is strengthening its naval and coast guard capabilities with help from Japan and South Korea. With President-elect Donald Trump, the President’s message towards “enhanced US-Philippines relations” may possibly signal a change in tone.
Please join us in a roundtable discussion with Professor Renato Cruz de Castro on the Duterte Administration’s foreign policy.
