VANCOUVER, CANADA — The Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver reaffirmed its commitment to advancing national economic diplomacy, highlighting strategic public-private collaboration to boost international investor confidence and showcase the Philippines’ strong macroeconomic fundamentals.
As part of these economic diplomacy initiatives, Consul General Gina A.
