The conference will be held from Oct. 28 to 30 at the Philippine International Convention Center in Pasay City.

"Our hosting of the conference reflects our commitment to the women, peace and security agenda, which is not only evident in our national policies, but also extends beyond our borders, finding resonance in our engagements with the United Nations, ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) and other international organizations,” Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo said at a press briefing in Malacañang on Friday.

The conference will not only be a platform for sharing insights and best practices on these important issues, but would also be a powerful demonstration of the Philippines' leadership in harnessing collective commitment to advancing the women, peace and security agenda worldwide, Manalo said.
