The Deputy Head of Mission at the German Embassy in the Philippines, Mathias Kruse, said the relationship between the Philippines and Germany is flourishing, especially with the upcoming Mabuhay Germany 2025 event scheduled for November.
In a press briefing on Thursday, Kruse emphasized the robust economic ties between the two countries.
“Our relationship with the Philippines is thriving, I think it is fair to say that. In terms of economic activities, we have a huge number of German companies present here in the Philippines,” he said.
For her part, German-Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Marie Antoniette Mariano underscored that the Mabuhay Germany 2025 event will showcase business, culture, innovation, and friendship.
“Since its launch in 2008, Mabuhay Germany has been the only trade fair in the Philippines dedicated to showcasing the growing and evolving ties between Germany and the Philippines,” she stated.
She also pointed out that this year’s theme, “In High Spirits,” aims to promote collaboration in trade, sustainability, education, and cultural exchange between the two countries.
The flagship trade fair will feature a Job Fair, on-the-spot recruitment, and panel discussions focused on German-Philippine bilateral relations and AI integration.
The event is set to take place on November 7 and 8 at the Bonifacio Global City (BGC) High Street Central Square.
The GPCCI represents German businesses in the Philippines, connecting approximately 300 member companies and providing them with support for market entry, business development, and partnerships.
