Our mission
We work to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the UK and the Philippines in areas of strategic importance affecting citizens, commerce and global security through a network of influence and activities that further the UK’s national interest.
Building prosperity with South East Asia
As part of South East Asia, the Philippines is part of a diverse and distinct region that represents a number of opportunities for the UK. As such, there is an opportunity to advance UK interests by taking a regional approach in addition to bilateral activities.
