PHILIPPINES TO PARTICIPATE IN THE 2025 SHANGRI-LA DIALOGUE
Secretary of National Defense Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr. will participate in the 22nd International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Shangri-La Dialogue from May 30 to June 1, 2025, in Singapore.
Secretary Teodoro, together with senior officials from the Department of National Defense and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, is scheduled to hold bilateral and multilateral meetings with counterparts from various countries. The engagements aim to discuss regional and global security issues and strengthen defense and security cooperation with allies.
Building on the keynote address delivered by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. at last year’s Dialogue, Secretary Teodoro’s participation underscored the Philippines’ commitment to a rules-based international order and sustained peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region through open dialogue and strategic partnerships.
The IISS Shangri-La Dialogue brings together defense ministers, military chiefs, and strategic experts to tackle pressing security challenges and reinforce regional cooperation.
