Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit the Philippines after being invited by President Rodrigo Duterte.
This was what Russian Ambassador to the Philippines Igor Khovaev said yesterday in the news forum “In Focus.”
Khovaev said this was Putin’s first time traveling the country.
“President Duterte officially invited President Putin to visit the Philippines,” said Khovaev.
But Khovaev declined to provide further details on Putin’s upcoming visit to the Philippines.
Aside from Putin’s acceptance of the invitation, he also thanked Duterte.
“The invitation of President Duterte was accepted by President Putin with gratitude,” Khovaev said.
Khovaev hopes the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the Philippines will happen soon.
Duterte has visited Russia twice since becoming President in 2016.
