The US and the Philippines will open talks on a deal for the Asian nation to build nuclear power plants with American technology, vice-president Kamala Harris announced.
Harris met with Philippine president Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and vice-president Sara Duterte Carpio in Manila on Monday (21 November) as part of an Asian trip to deepen security and economic ties.
Last week, she unveiled a clean-energy partnership with Thailand that includes a US offer of help with building small nuclear reactors.
Talks on a civil nuclear-energy agreement – known as a 123 agreement –with the Philippines will aim to deploy advanced reactor technology to help the Philippines meet its power needs.
