United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took pride in the US-Philippine alliance, which he said was  “fortified by our shared history, rich people-to-people ties, and deep bilateral cooperation.”

“As we stood together during World War II and in the global fight against terrorism, our nations are partnering again to contain and mitigate COVID-19,” he said.

“Our friendship and cooperation stand as a model for ensuring peace, stability, prosperity, and health across the Indo-Pacific.”
