JICA assures continued support PH maritime safety

From the Philippine Information Agency (Oct 21): JICA assures continued support PH maritime safety

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) reiterated its continuing support to the Philippines’ maritime safety and security.

During the recent 115th Anniversary of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), JICA Chief Representative Susumu Ito assured President Rodrigo Duterte of JICA’s continuous support to the Philippines’ socio-economic development.

Both parties also look forward to the President’s forthcoming visit to Japan in a move to further strengthen Japan-Philippines bilateral relations and development cooperation.

JICA will also dispatch Japanese experts to further train the PCG personnel.

JICA has been supporting the PCG since the 1980s through provision of rescue equipment, training facilities, communications systems, and maritime safety equipment as well as capacity building of PCG personnel.
