The meeting was chaired by Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., who delivered the opening remarks on that occasion.

On that occasion, President Marcos also invited the leaders to seize this moment to reaffirm their shared vision for a more integrated, resilient, and prosperous BIMP-EAGA. He stressed that the future would require synergy, innovation, and greater political will.
