European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas will visit the Philippines from June 1 to 2, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) announced on Saturday.
This will be Kallas’ first visit to the country since assuming her post in December 2023, signaling a stronger partnership between the Philippines and the EU.
