R. Duterte: “I want the Philippines and Russia to become best friends”

50
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who received scandalous fame thanks to numerous publications in the media for very harsh expressions (in particular about the current US president), was marked by a statement about Russia and Vladimir Putin. In the Western media they expected that Duterte and against Moscow would say something abusive, but, unfortunately, they were deeply mistaken. Duterte said something completely different from what the Western media expected of him.

According to the Philippine leader, relations between Manila and Moscow have practically not developed in recent years, and today they are at a very low level. Rodrigo Duterte noted that by definition the Philippines simply cannot avoid such a powerful state as Russia, and expressed a desire to have a personal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the near future.



R. Duterte: “I want the Philippines and Russia to become best friends”


Statement Duterte leads news agency Associated Press:
I want us to be friends (with Vladimir Putin - note “IN”), I really want the two countries to be best friends.

The meeting of the presidents of Russia and the Philippines can be held at the next APEC summit in Peru. The summit is scheduled to take place from 18 to 20 in November.

Commented on Rodrigo Duterte (at the request of journalists) and his attitude to the elected US President Donald Trump:
We currently have no quarrels or omissions with Trump. I congratulate him on his well-deserved victory.


Recall that a few weeks ago, the President of the Philippines, sharply reacting to attempts by the US authorities to interfere in the internal politics of official Manila, said that the Philippines "is time to say goodbye to Washington."

          And we, and you, many "taxied at all levels" and do everything based on "OWN interests". And it would be nice if they were guided by the interests of the country.

        .... there are no eternal friends and eternal enemies.

        I would add, in politics there are no friends at all, there are situational coalitions to advance their own interests, but there are no friends.

          And why not take advantage of this situation for a mutually beneficial alliance and further partnerships on a mutually beneficial basis and to strengthen friendship !! But we help those who come to us and isn't this our main principle? Are we not open to dialogue and partnership? And were we against trade and the establishment of strong, dimoplastic ties on the basis of mutual trust? Although the Philippines is not such a big superpower, it needs to be worked with! The image of Our State and its influence in this region are higher than the money that we can get in the first stage !! Gentlemen, this is a market and there is a war for EVERY CLIENT !!! Don't be myopic so !!

        A colleague agrees with you, but the times of the USSR come to mind, somewhere in Africa some Lumumba proclaimed: -We will build socialism, as the same USSR pumped up this Lumumba with irrevocable loans and equipment. Relations with all countries are necessary and important, but not in damage to oneself. Today Duterte is a friend, and tomorrow? This idiot Monkey quarreled with the Philippines, Trump will be smarter, the United States did not let the Philippines out of his arms, there are more than 200 military bases there. But relations need to be developed.

          It is necessary to develop, but not to lend. Debts destroy friendship. Duterte is an eccentric fellow. To test for durability, you need to carry out verbal sparing of Duterte-Zhirinovsky in the language by lot (VVZH boasted that it almost sprays in Japanese without a dictionary). In an extreme case, in sign language (Filipino is fluent in it).
