As free trade talks between the Philippines and Israel have started, the two nations intend to collaborate with each other on artificial intelligence (AI) and critical mineral processing, according to a news report by GMA News.
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of GMA News. Some parts in boldface.
The Philippines and Israel are working to strengthen collaboration in critical mineral processing and artificial intelligence (AI) as part of the two countries’ broader efforts to deepen economic and technological cooperation.
In a public briefing, Israel Ambassador to the Philippines Dana Kursh said Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Cristina Roque and Israel Minister of Economy Nir Barkat began talks of a free trade agreement.
“They declared together that starting negotiating on having a free trade agreement. So this ecosystem with the overall strategic plan of having a free trade agreement and specific MOUs (memorandum of understanding) when it comes to minerals and other AI solutions and alongside cybersecurity,” Kursh said.
She did not further elaborate on the details, as negotiations are still ongoing, but assured that updates would be provided in June.
Kursh also said minerals like nickel and bronze could be beneficial in the construction of the 4,000-acre industrial hub in the Luzon Economic Corridor (LEC) that the Philippines and the United States plan to build.
“These are critical minerals that can be used [in the Pax Silica initiative],” the ambassador said.
“AI and other solutions are not just buzzwords. They are real opportunities that we have to seize and we have to seize them together,” she added.
The LEC is expected to be the first of its kind, serving as a new model for AI-native investment hubs under the Pax Silica initiative, a US-led effort to build a network of allied supply chains for critical technologies and minerals.
The fact sheet cited the Philippines’ significant reserves of nickel, copper, chromite, and cobalt, vital to global supply chains.
To all my readers, I encourage you to pray to the Lord for further collaboration between Israel and the Philippines so that people of both nations can benefit greatly with one another economically. AI solutions and critical mineral processing have great potential that the two nations can benefit from.
At the same time, I encourage you all to realize the truth that Israel is the land God designated specifically for the Jewish people (read Genesis 35:10-12) and His command must be followed without hesitation. If you want to be blessed further by the Lord, do so by loving and blessing the Jewish people (Genesis 12:1-3). I did my part when I was in Israel. Also, let me remind you all that the ties between the Jews and Christians are truly biblical!
I encourage you all to pray to the Lord God in support of Israel, to love and bless the Jewish people, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
If you truly believe in Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God the Heavenly Father wholeheartedly and you continue to be faithful, you should be aware that Christians are meant to stand united with Israel and love the Jewish people no matter what. You can do your part supporting Israel by donating to Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Do not forget to read the Holy Bible, then pray in tongues to the Lord in the privacy of your room with the door shut.
Always be the fearless and aggressive church of Lord Jesus!
