“This is a historic moment, as it brings Russia and the Philippines closer together through relations between their ruling parties, and not just their governments,” said Pimentel.
The Senate President is in St. Petersburg for the 137th International Parliamentary Union Assembly, as well for talks with leaders of United Russia.
