Member Briefing: U.S.-Philippines Relations with Ambassador MaryKay Carlson

Description

With U.S.-Philippines relations at a critical juncture — amid evolving U.S.-China dynamics, shifting regional supply chains, and a pivotal period in Philippine domestic politics — the US-ASEAN Business Council is convening a member briefing featuring insights from one of America's foremost experts on the Philippines. Ambassador MaryKay Carlson, who recently concluded her tenure as U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines, will share her insights on the current state of U.S.-Philippines relations, the broader regional outlook, and what the evolving geopolitical landscape means for American businesses operating in or considering the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Her remarks will be followed by an interactive Q&A moderated by USABC's Senior Country Research Analyst for the Philippines, Angelica Ortega — an opportunity for members to raise questions specific to their sectors and markets. This discussion will be off the record.
