MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines and the United Kingdom (UK) are seeking to deepen maritime interest cooperation, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Friday.

“The two countries exchanged views on important global and regional developments, and shared insights on the strategic and practical impacts of emerging maritime-related technology and legal concepts,” the DFA said in a statement.
