The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) will sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with its counterpart in Brunei Darussalam to strengthen business-to-business partnership between the two countries.
In an interview Monday, PCCI president Enunina Mangio said they will join President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in his official trip to Brunei Darussalam from May 28 to 29.
Mangio said the MOU aims to forge closer cooperation with Brunei’s National Chamber of Commerce and Industry in various sectors.
“We will sign an MOU with Brunei’s Chamber of Commerce, that’s the time we will know what are the possible collaborations and cooperations our members and the business sector can avail of,” she said.
The agreement is expected to pave the way for a more robust economic engagement and a stronger bilateral partnership between the two Southeast Asian countries.
Mangio said the PCCI will also extend the invitation to its counterpart in Brunei to participate in the upcoming halal forum in Manila.
She said the closer collaboration with Brunei will strengthen the trade and investment activities in the Brunei Darussalam–Indonesia–Malaysia–Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA). (PNA)
