Foreign policy tack prepared for Duterte

THE Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) has already prepared a foreign policy strategy for presumptive President Rodrigo Duterte in light of an expected ruling by a United Nations tribunal on an arbitration case involving the West Philippine Sea (South China Sea).

Foreign Undersecretary for Policy Enrique Manalo on Wednesday said Philippine embassies and public stakeholders contributed their inputs to the policy strategy that primarily aims to promote the country’s interests in the coming years.
