The Philippines' Ambassador to India, Josel Francisco Ignacio, has praised the landmark deal for India's BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, emphasizing their role in bolstering the Philippines' "credible defense" capabilities.
This acquisition, he noted, signifies a new phase in the evolving relationship between the two nations, with growing cooperation across various sectors.
Ambassador Ignacio highlighted the BrahMos missile system's impressive range and advanced capabilities, stating that it will significantly enhance the Philippines' coastal defense mechanisms.
The delivery of these missiles, which began in April 2023, marks a strategic move by the Philippines to secure its maritime interests, particularly in the geopolitically sensitive South China Sea region.

The BrahMos missile, a joint venture between India and Russia, is renowned for its speed, precision, and versatility. Its deployment in the Philippines is a testament to the system's capabilities and the trust placed in India's technological advancements.
This development not only strengthens the Philippines' defense posture but also solidifies India's position as a key player in the global defense market and a reliable partner for nations seeking advanced defense solutions.
The BrahMos deal signifies a deepening strategic partnership between India and the Philippines, fostering greater cooperation and trust between the two nations.
