Philippines keen on deepening ties with South Korea

The Philippines plans to increase its level of cooperation with South Korea in the future, said finance secretary Carlos Dominguez at a meeting with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA). This comes after South Korea looks into increasing its assistance to countries within the Southeast Asian region. Dominguez told the KOICA delegation, led by president Lee Mikyung, that the Philippines appreciates the assistance it receives from the Korean people and that it wants closer cooperation with them in the coming years.
