Croatia–Philippines relations refers to the diplomatic relations that were established between Croatia and the Philippines on February 25, 1993,[1] soon after the Philippines recognized Croatia as an independent nation in 1992.[2] The two countries have links between their shipping industries, including port management, investment,[3] and seafarers,[4] and they propose to extend this to cooperation in shipbuilding and the navies.[1][5]
Agreements[edit]
In 1993 the governments signed an agreement abolishing the requirement for a visa for holders of diplomatic and official passports.[6]
In 1995, the governments reached an agreement on scientific and technological cooperation.[6]
In 2009, the governments signed an agreement on cultural cooperation.[6]
In 2009 the Croatian Ministry of Sports and the Philippine Board of Sports signed a memorandum on cooperation in the field of sports.[6]
In 2019 a memorandum of understanding was signed regarding defence cooperation.[7][8]
Representation[edit]
Neither country has a diplomatic mission in each other's territories. The Philippine Embassy in Vienna, Austria, is accredited to Croatia.[9] On the other hand, the Croatian ambassador accredited to the Philippines is based in the embassy in Indonesia.[10]
Meetings[edit]
In 2012, Croatia and the Philippines conducted their second political consultation in Manila.[1] This was conducted at the sub-ministerial level according to a protocol signed in 2005.[1] The meeting identified shipbuilding as a potential area of cooperation.[1]
In 2018, the third sub-ministerial meeting was held at the Croatian Mission to the United Nations, on the sidelines of the 73rd United Nations General Assembly.[11]
Trade and investment[edit]
As of June 2012[update] trade between the two countries was valued at $4 million per annum.[1] The Philippines are investigating Croatia as a destination for fruit exports.[12]
International Container Terminal Services Inc., a Philippine port operation company operates Brajdica Container Terminal, the shipping container terminal at the Port of Rijeka, Croatia's largest port, and also owns a majority stake in Adriatic Gate Container Terminal, a Croatian port operation company.[3] The Philippine ambassador Lourdes Yparraguirre was present at the signing, and hailed the deal as "a major boost to enhancing bilateral relations between the vibrant economies".[13]
In 2018 a joint issue of commemorative stamps was released by both countries to commemorate the 25 year bilateral relationship.[14][15]
In 2019 the Philippines suspended any loan or grant negotiation or signing with Croatia and 17 other countries in response to their vote in support of a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution to investigate extrajudicial killings during the Philippine drug war.[16]
Military[edit]
In 2012 the Defence ministers of both countries met during an official Croatian delegation visit to the Philippines.[5] They discussed potential cooperation on military technology, shipbuilding, and between their respective navies, particularly in combating piracy.[5] They anticipated and stressed the importance of signing a Memorandum of Understanding between the countries regarding logistics and the defence industry,[5] eventually signed in 2019.[8] During the meeting, Croatia offered to build ships for the Philippine Coast Guard and overhaul existing ships, as well as pistols and assault rifles manufactured to NATO standards.[17]
