“While growing steadily throughout the decades, our relations have entered a “golden age” in recent years with the exchange of several high-level official visits, including the first ever visit of a French Head of State to the Philippines in 2015. This momentum has allowed us to further deepen and diversify our partnership, which is now global,” Ambassador Matthou said.
