President Rodrigo Duterte is set to visit at least four countries in 2018, Malacañang said Wednesday.

“Alam ko po merong India, tapos merong South Korea at merong Australia at saka meron pong Israel,” Roque said in an interview with dzXL.

During the briefing, Roque said the visits are being discussed between the Department of Foreign Affairs and the countries which invited Duterte.

“It’s not yet definite but I know that it has been mentioned ‘no. And these visits of course will have very specific goals and part of a state visit or working visit is always to promote trade and investments as far as the Philippines is concerned,” he said.
