Topic: 2024-The Situation in Guyana
Country: Philippines
Delegate Name: Sam Fairo
The nation of the Philippines is one of the only countries in Southeast Asia that still values its neutrality and peace. With the situation in Guyana, we have stayed neutral and will continue to. We understand the severity of the situation and want to work with other nations to resolve this conflict and remain impartial. The relationship between the Philippines and Venezuela, along with Guyana, is one of diplomatic relations and peace. Both countries have trade and economic and cultural support of the other.
The Philippines will be taking an observing step when it comes to this issue, though we do have ideals we want to be respected. We believe we need to respect each nation’s sovereignty in the face of a problem that does not directly affect us.
As I stated before, we will be taking a more diplomatic outlook. The relationship between Venezuela and the Philippines is one of friendly diplomacy, both countries have been on the pleasant side since August 27, 1968. The Philippines and Venezuela have diplomatic trade together and we would not like that to be done away with. As the Philippines are not involved in the oil industry they will still support the countries who are. We are not involved in the oil industry due to not having a large oil reserve such as these countries have, we tend to focus more on agriculture and manufacturing. The nation of the Philippines will be staying out of this international conflict. We advocate for peaceful resolutions and respect for adherence to international law.
We would like a resolution to include a neutral approach to help in aid, and above all stay out of conflict to make sure all sovereignty and diplomatic relations stay the same. We would like this to ensure our allies remain the same and our respect towards one another. We value aid for other nations for allies, to ensure our country’s stability and longevity.
Lastly, the Philippines will remain neutral on the matter of this conflict, as we will be able to help with resources for both sides. We would like to remain impartial and will be staying out of any conflict that erupts. Since we have diplomatic relationships with Venezuela and Guyana, we will be staying neutral so as to not lose our relations with these countries. We wish to respect national sovereignty and international law.
