MANILA, Philippines — President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is heading to Singapore on September 13 for the 10 Asian Conference, Malacañang said on Monday.

According to the Palace, Marcos will give a talk about “A Conversation with the President of the Republic of the Philippines.”

“Marcos will headline the 30-minute talk, highlighting the government efforts in improving the lives of Filipinos amid challenges from significant global events. Marcos will be the first sitting Philippine President to address the Milken Institute’s Asia Summit,” said the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) in a statement.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will also give a speech at the same event, added Malacañang.

Marcos will also attend the finals of Formula One Singapore Grand Prix 2023, upon the invitation of Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

The Asian Summit is hosted by the Milken Institute, which tackles topics such as public health, environmentalism, economic policy, and globalization.

“The Milken Institute is known as a non-profit think tank, that puts emphasis on an accelerated progress towards gaining a meaningful life for all. It brings best ideas and practices in laying out the blueprint towards holding a dialogue on critical global issues,” said the PCO.

To recall, Marcos had just recently wrapped up his trip to Indonesia for the 43rd Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit.
