The Philippines and Timor-Leste agreed on Friday to explore an air service agreement to allow direct flights between the two country's capitals and facilitate more student exchanges between the two Southeast Asian countries.
According to the Philippines' presidential communications office, the two sides signed 11 agreements on economic and technical cooperation, higher education cooperation, and military cooperation, among others.
