Manila, March 10 -- Slovenia's Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon is undertaking a historic visit to the Philippines to sign a labor deal and identify more concrete areas of cooperation with the country.

This marks another significant development in the two nations' relations months after Slovenia decided to open its embassy in Manila, its first in Southeast Asia.

Fajon is bringing with her a large and diverse business delegation, and improving economic relations with the country is also high on the minister's agenda during her Philippine stay from March 10 to 12.

She will pay a courtesy call on President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and hold a meeting with Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo and Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac.
