Philippines President Marcos visits India

Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos is received by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu in India's presidential palace. Marcos arrived in India on Monday for a visit aimed at strengthening defence and strategic ties between the two nations.

The five-day visit follows the Philippines' acquisition of India's BrahMos supersonic cruise missile system, the first such export by New Delhi, with deliveries beginning in April under a $375 million deal signed in 2022.
