JICA Appreciates Senate Resolution and Reaffirm Commitment to Development

The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) warmly welcomes the adoption of Senate Resolution No. 673 on September 30, recognizing and commending JICA for its vital contributions to Philippine development.

JICA is deeply honored by this recognition and sincerely thanks the Senate of the Philippines for its expression of support and appreciation. For more than five decades, JICA has worked closely with the Government and people of the Philippines to promote sustainable and inclusive development. Through cooperation in transportation, infrastructure, health, agriculture, disaster risk reduction, human resource development, local governance, and peace and development initiatives, JICA has contributed to the improvement of quality of life of Filipinos and strengthening the foundations of the country’s growth.

As the Philippines continues to address complex development issues, JICA remains committed to working hand-in-hand with national and local counterparts to deliver inclusive and lasting outcomes, aligned with the aspirations of the Filipino people.

JICA’s role is rooted in trust, built through long-term engagement and steadfast commitment to stand alongside Philippine partners through both progress and difficulty. This recognition belongs not only to JICA, but also to all Filipino and Japanese partners whose dedication and collaboration have made these contributions possible.

Coinciding with the 70^th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic ties between Japan and the Philippines, JICA extends its heartfelt gratitude to the Philippine Senate and reaffirms its commitment to serve as a trusted partner of the Philippines.
