(ASEAN) Summit here, the President said that Sunak vowed to arrange his next visit to the UK after their bilateral meeting merely lasted for around seven minutes.

"I told him I hope to continue our dialogue. We won't be able to do it now because we have maybe seven minutes," Marcos said.

"'We can't do it now, but we'll do a proper trip for you to come to the UK and talk about it soon.' That's where we ended," he added.

The President said he and Sunak had been given the chance to talk about politics, including the stability in the UK.

Sunak, he said, also expressed gratitude to the Filipinos who worked as frontliners in the UK during the coronavirus pandemic.

Marcos said Sunak also wanted to discuss a proposal for an airport from a conglomerate.

"Well, this is the same thing that comes up every time I meet with a leader. He gave thanks for the job well done by Filipinos and Filipinas in the NHS during the pandemic and asked if there could be more of them. There's always that," Marcos said. 
