The Foreign Buyers Association of the Philippines (FOBAP) will join a high-level business delegation accompanying President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on his state visit to India from Aug. 4 to 8, 2025.
The mission is part of the Philippine government’s strategic push to deepen trade and investment ties with India, one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies.
In a formal letter to FOBAP president Robert Young, the Department of Trade and Industry outlined plans for the delegation’s engagements in New Delhi and Bangalore.
The goal is to open new channels for partnerships, investments and market access for Philippine companies.
FOBAP’s inclusion reflects the administration’s intent to maximize high-level diplomatic visits as a platform for concrete economic gains.
The mission is expected to strengthen the Philippines’ export footprint and investment presence in the Indian market, seen as a key frontier for future growth.
