Toast Remarks of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. During the State Banquet in Honor of Polish President Karol Nawrocki and First Lady Marta Nawrocka

Your Excellency, President Karol Nawrocki; First Lady Marta Nawrocka; esteemed members of the Philippine and Polish delegations; ladies and gentlemen.

Good evening.

Since the formal establishment of our relations over five decades ago, the friendship between the Philippines and Poland has grown steadily.

Though separated by geography, our two nations share deep cultural links anchored in the same core values and in our Catholic faith.

Excellency,

Your presence here is a testament to the importance both our countries attach to this partnership.

I am confident that your visit will open up new opportunities for cooperation and bring our peoples even closer together.

May I now invite everyone to rise and to join me in a toast:

To the continued success and good health of President Nawrocki and First Lady Nawrocka;

To the continued peace and prosperity of our nations;

And to the enduring friendship between the Filipino and Polish peoples.

Mabuhay!
