MANILA, Philippines – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe arrived in Manila Friday night, July 26, for the last leg of his 3-nation tour of Southeast Asian neighbors.

He is scheduled to meet with President Benigno Aquino III Saturday “to discuss bilateral cooperation and regional issues, and further advance the Strategic Partnership between the Philippines and Japan.”

“In 2012, Japan was the Philippines’ number one trade partner and provider of official development assistance as well as the second major source of approved investments and third source of tourist arrivals,” the Department of Foreign Affairs advisory added.

Abe’s 3-nation tour, which started on July 25, earlier brought him to Malaysia and Singapore. — Rappler.com
