Philippines Says Nations Must Honor Oil Pacts Amid Export Curbs

The Philippines is in talks with Indonesia and Russia as the nation races to secure its fuel supply, according to Energy Secretary Sharon Garin, who said countries must honor trade contracts as the Iran war rages on.

Manila’s energy officials and diplomats have approached nations that supply fuel to the Philippines to continue our “longstanding agreements” with them “because we have good relations with these countries also,” Garin said in a briefing on Monday. These include China, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Japan, she said.
