THE Philippines wants to enhance economic ties with Turkey through tourism and trade. Trade Secretary Cristina Roque on Wednesday said she met with Philippine Ambassador to Turkey Henry Bensurto Jr. to discuss opportunities for collaboration, particularly in the "Tara Na sa Pilipinas Ambassadors' Tour" — a program to reconnect overseas Filipinos with the motherland while promoting the country's heritage and culture, and economic opportunities. Turkey has a growing Filipino expatriate community. "This program... is a bridge connecting overseas Filipinos and the next generation to their roots while showcasing the country's economic and cultural vibrancy to the world," Roque said, adding that the tour includes visits to historically and economically significant locations across the country. https://www.manilatimes.net/2025/03/27/business/top-business/stronger-ph-turkey-economic-ties-sought/2080753 (ICE SINGAPORE)
