What can India offer to Philippines apart from more weapons exports? Of all the useless partners for the PH, India is at the bottom of that list.
It should be noted that the PH bought the Brahmos missile at the end of the Duterte administration. Probably it was the PH military that pushed it more than Duterte. So now that Bong Bong Marcos has established a "strategic partnership" with Modi, he must buy more Indian Supapowar weaponry. Marcos should consider buying the Tejas over outdated F-16s.
Lol! Same old words. Bong Bong should remember that Iran had also signed a strategic partnership with India shortly before Israel attacked Iran. India had refused to help Iran, not even offering condemnation to Israel. This is the true value of India's "strategic partnership".After the talks, Modi said India and the Philippines were “committed to peace, security, prosperity and a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific region.”
Marcos said the strategic partnership “will doubtless resonate beyond the confines of our bilateral relationship.”
“We want to work with you for a free and open Indo-Pacific,” he told Modi.
