2021～2022年菲律宾外交形势分析

Abstract:2021 is the last full calendar year of the Duterte administration. The Covid-19 epidemic continues to affect the Philippines，putting pressure on its public health system and economic growth，and the government’s need for international assistance in the vaccine and economic sectors has become more urgent. The Duterte administration continues to pursue an independent foreign policy，seeks a balance between its relations with China and the United States，and effectively responds to domestic needs for vaccines and economic assistance. Cooperation between the Philip-pines and China in epidemic prevention and control and infrastructure development has steadily advanced，but there is some uncertainty about occasional friction in the South China Sea. After the Biden administration came to power，the new connotation of the Indo-Pacific strategy was put forward. The relationship between the Philippines and the United States has gradually warmed up，and cooperation in military，epidemic prevention and disaster relief has become increasingly close. Taking the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations as an opportunity，the Philippines and Japan have further deepened their exchanges in the fields of politics，culture，economy and security；the Philippines has continued to deepen cooperation in various fields with neighboring countries such as Vietnam，Singapore，Australia and Russia. International organizations continue to attack the Duterte administration on the grounds of human rights and press freedom. In general，the Duterte administration has continued its consistent foreign policy of independence and autonomy，and its foreign exchanges have well served its main policy goals such as responding to the Covid-19 outbreak and promoting economic recovery. Marcos Jr.，who won the election with the support of multiple political forces，including Duterte and Arroyo，is expected to continue the pragmatic approach of the Duterte administration，maintain an independent and autonomous foreign policy，and maintain good Philippine-U.S.relations while continuing the Duterte government’s friendly policy toward China.
