Signing of the 2nd public service concession agreement between Business France and the CCIFP (French Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines).

Manila, PhilippinesIn the presence of H.E. Marie Fontanel, Ambassador of France to the Philippines and Micronesia, Business France and the CCIFP (French Chamber of Commerce in the Philippines) renewed their collaboration and joint commitment in providing business support in export and the development of trade relations between France and the Philippines through the signing of the Public Service Concession Framework Contract.

On this occasion, attendees were reminded of the origin of Team France Export — the fruit of a reform implemented in 2018 that aimed to simplify and strengthen the public export support system for French SMEs and ETIs. 

The reception was held at the new premises of our Embassy in Manila and brought together representatives of the Team France Export in the Philippines, along with the signatories, Yann Frollo de Kerlivio, Business France Director for ASEAN and Oceania, and Jacques-Christophe Branellec, President of the CCIFP. 

The teams from Business France, the French Embassy in the Philippines, the CCIFP, and the Foreign Trade Advisors then enjoyed a pleasant, friendly get-together after the official signing ceremony, motivated by their shared vision of paving the way towards new prospects for French companies and strengthening the ties of friendship and partnership between France and the Philippines.
