On July 26 and 27, yet another important page in the history of Philippine-Japanese relations will be written with the visit of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the Philippines on the invitation of President Aquino.

The visit attests to the particular importance given by the Abe administration to the Philippines, being one of Japan?s recognized bilateral strategic partners.

Since 1956, bilateral relations have been mutually beneficial and characterized by cooperation in a wide range of fields.

More important, Philippines-Japan ties stand out in the region for being underpinned by a strong, shared adherence to the values of democracy, humanitarian principles and the rule of law.

The Philippines attaches much value to the prime minister?s visit, as it elevates the Philippines-Japan strategic partnership to an even higher plane of vigor, dynamism and relevance.

It is the first visit during the prime minister?s second term. He was also the last Japanese prime minister to visit the Philippines, in 2006.

The visit comes at a most propitious time, with both countries undergoing an economic renaissance and riding a wave of renewed optimism and international confidence.
