Department of Agriculture (DA) Senior Undersecretary Domingo F. Panganiban, and other DA officials met with the United States (US) government officials, and Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) members on October 3, 2023 for an open forum and networking lunch as part of the US and BCIU’s agriculture mission to the Philippines.

The forum is an outcome of the bilateral discussions led by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. and President Joseph Biden, Jr. last May when they agreed that the two nations should closely cooperate on the common pursuit of resilient and sustainable food systems. ### (photos by Alarico Nuestro, DA-AFID)
