UK-PH Celebrate 80 years of relations

This year, the Philippines and the United Kingdom are celebrating 80 years of diplomatic relations. A milestone marked by growing trade, expanding security cooperation, and increasingly ambitious partnerships on climate, education, and development. But perhaps the strongest measure of the relationship is not found in policy papers or economic statistics. It is found in people. More than 200,000 Filipinos now live and work in the UK, serving in hospitals, classrooms, businesses, research institutions, and local communities across the country. Their presence—and their contributions—have become an important part of the story of modern UK-PH relations. Those connections were one of the key highlights as the British Embassy in Manila hosted the official celebration of the birthday of His Majesty King Charles III at Makati Shangri-La, an occasion that also marked eight decades of friendship between the two nations. “This year is a special milestone, 80 years of diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the Philippines,” British Ambassador Sarah Hulton told guests. “Tonight is about both honoring that history and looking forward ahead to what we can build together for the future.” For Hulton, the anniversary carries a personal significance. The Philippines was her first overseas posting at the beginning of her diplomatic career two decades ago. “The warmth and welcome I encountered then have stayed with me,” she said. “To return now as the United Kingdom’s ambassador and to mark 80 years of friendship is a real privilege.” The relationship she returned to is considerably broader than the one she first encountered. Annual bilateral trade has reached £3.2 billion, while cooperation now spans defense, maritime security, renewable energy, climate resilience, peacebuilding, and education. “Ultimately, it is people who make this relationship what it is,” Hulton said. That theme was reflected throughout the evening. Guests were treated to familiar British favorites including fish and chips, miniature beef Wellington prepared by Gordon Ramsay Bar & Grill Manila, and gin- and whisky-based cocktails showcasing some of Britain’s best-known exports. Representing the Philippine government, Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) Undersecretary Ma. Theresa Dizon-De Vega highlighted the role of the Filipino community in Britain, particularly in healthcare. “The United Kingdom is also home to the largest Filipino community in the European region,” she said. Among them are approximately 35,000 Filipino nurses working in Britain’s National Health Service. One of the most recognizable is Filipino-British nurse May Parsons, who administered the world’s first Covid-19 vaccine outside clinical trials in December 2020. The moment became a powerful reminder of the contribution Filipinos continue to make to British society. The Filipino presence is increasingly visible beyond healthcare. In London, chef Florence Mae Maglanoc has introduced contemporary Filipino cuisine to a wider audience through restaurant “Donia” and “Panadera”, her Filipino bakery with branches in Marylebone and Soho. Jollibee, meanwhile, has expanded steadily across the UK since 2018, including a flagship branch in Leicester Square. Educational ties have also played an important role. For more than four decades, the UK’s Chevening Scholarship programme has supported over 540 Filipinos, many of whom have gone on to serve in government, business, media, academia, and civil society. The programme remains one of the most enduring bridges between the two countries. The evening also highlighted the growing strategic dimension of the partnership. Since launching their Enhanced Partnership in 2023, the Philippines and the United Kingdom have expanded cooperation on maritime security, climate action, science and technology, renewable energy, and regional stability. Hulton reaffirmed Britain’s support for the Philippines in upholding UNCLOS and the 2016 Arbitral Award, while discussions continue toward a visiting forces agreement that would further deepen defense cooperation. The UK has also supported Philippine climate resilience efforts through initiatives such as the Philippine Adaptation Investment Platform, which has developed a £250 million pipeline of adaptation projects in the agriculture sector. For De Vega, however, some of the most enduring aspects of the relationship are found in personal encounters. She recalled meeting then-Prince Charles during a diplomatic reception at Buckingham Palace in 2009, when he immediately recognized the piña fabric worn by members of the Philippine delegation. “It was a brief but memorable encounter that reflected his genuine interest in cultures and traditions from around the world,” she said. Eighty years after diplomatic ties were established, relations between the Philippines and the UK continue to be strengthened not only by governments, but by the communities, professionals, students, entrepreneurs, and families who connect both countries every day. Trade will grow. New agreements will be signed. Strategic priorities will evolve. But it is those human connections that have sustained the relationship for the past 80 years—and will likely define the next 80 as well.

[GAFH 2026] Global AI Declaration Adopted, Calling for Trustworthy AI as a Tool for Peace and Shared Prosperity

[Cheonji Ilbo=Reporter Park Jun-seong] Participants pose for a commemorative photo after signing the Joint Declaration of the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 during the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 (GAFH 2026) at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul on June 12, 2026. c Cheonji Ilbo 2026.06.12. [Cheonji Ilbo=Reporter Yang Hyo-sun] SEOUL, June 12 — Participants at the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 (GAFH 2026) adopted a landmark joint declaration Thursday, outlining principles for responsible artificial intelligence development and international cooperation under the vision of “Human Co-Prosperity.” The declaration was announced during GAFH 2026, organized by Cheonji Ilbo at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in central Seoul to mark the newspaper's 17th anniversary. More than 300 experts from politics, society, media, academia, and industry — including international representatives from AI governance bodies, academia, and the technology sector — attended the forum. Building on the spirit of “Human Co-Prosperity” first articulated in the 2025 Declaration of the Spirit of the AI Transformation Era, the document seeks to expand the concept to the international level and establish common principles for AI governance in an era of rapid technological transformation. Lee Sang-myeon, chief executive of Cheonji Ilbo and organizing committee chair of the forum, set the tone in his opening remarks. “What matters most in the age of AI is not the technology itself, but the values it is made to serve,” he said. Participants recognized that the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is exerting a profound influence on the future of humanity and the international order. The declaration states that AI is a powerful tool capable of addressing humanity’s shared challenges, including the climate crisis, pandemics, educational inequality, poverty and conflict. At the same time, it warns that without proper control and accountability, AI also poses risks that may threaten human dignity, freedom, democracy and international peace. The six-point declaration identifies Human Co-Prosperity as the guiding principle of the AI era. The document also emphasizes a human-centered approach to AI development and deployment. “AI must respect human dignity and fundamental rights and be developed and utilized under meaningful human oversight,” it says. “The values of freedom, peace, equality, and respect for life must be embedded throughout the entire AI lifecycle.” On international security, participants declared unequivocally that AI must serve as a tool for peace and cooperation — never for conflict or weaponization — and must never be used in ways that undermine international peace and security. The signatories also called for concerted efforts to minimize inequality and discrimination arising from AI while strengthening international safety standards, transparency and accountability frameworks for high-risk AI systems. Addressing the need for international cooperation, the declaration stresses that the transnational impact of AI requires a broad and inclusive governance framework. “To address the transnational impact of AI, we affirm that inclusive and responsible global governance is essential, involving international organizations, governments, businesses, academia, and civil society,” it states. “The safety and accountability of AI are shared responsibilities of all humankind.” The declaration further calls for the active use of AI in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), responding to climate change, preventing pandemics, advancing education, eradicating poverty and building peace. Participants reaffirmed that “AI is not a force to replace humanity, but a collaborative partner that expands human capability and responsibility.” They also declared that the agreement reached at GAFH 2026 “will become an important milestone in the development of international AI governance,” pledging to continue their shared responsibility and solidarity for the future of human co-prosperity. During the forum’s final session, Song Tae-bok, executive director and editor-in-chief of Cheonji Ilbo and secretary-general of the forum, formally read the declaration. Participants then took part in a signing ceremony and commemorative group photo before concluding the event. Attendees pledged to continue international cooperation and collective responsibility in pursuit of a future of human co-prosperity, organizers said. The Joint Declaration of the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 is presented during the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 (GAFH 2026) at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul on June 12, 2026. c Cheonji Ilbo 2026.06.12. Full Text of the Joint Declaration of the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity (GAFH) 2026 Joint Declaration Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity (GAFH) 2026 We, the participants of the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity (GAFH 2026), hereby expand the spirit of “Human Co-Prosperity” proclaimed in the 2025 Declaration of the Spirit of the AI Transformation Era to the international level, recognizing that the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is exerting a profound influence on the future of humanity and the international order. AI is a powerful tool capable of addressing humanity’s shared challenges, including the climate crisis, pandemics, educational inequality, poverty, and conflict. However, without proper control and accountability, it also poses risks that may threaten human dignity, freedom, democracy, and international peace. Therefore, we declare the following: Article 1. Spirit of the Era – Human Co-Prosperity The global direction of the AI era must be founded not on the interests of specific groups, but on the shared prosperity of all humankind. Technological advancement should proceed according to the principles of cooperation and responsibility, rather than competition and domination. Article 2. Human-Centered Values and Universal Principles AI must respect human dignity and fundamental rights and be developed and utilized under meaningful human oversight. The values of freedom, peace, equality, and respect for life must be embedded throughout the entire AI lifecycle. Article 3. Peace and International Security AI must serve as a tool for peace and cooperation, not for conflict or weaponization, and must never be used in ways that undermine international peace and security. Article 4. Fairness and Accountability We shall minimize inequality and discrimination arising from AI and strengthen international safety standards, transparency, and accountability frameworks for high-risk AI systems. Article 5. Global Governance To address the transnational impact of AI, we affirm that inclusive and responsible global governance is essential, involving international organizations, governments, businesses, academia, and civil society. The safety and accountability of AI are shared responsibilities of all humankind. Article 6. Contribution to Sustainable Development We will actively utilize AI to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), respond to climate change, prevent pandemics, advance education, eradicate poverty, and build peace. We reaffirm that AI is not a force to replace humanity, but a collaborative partner that expands human capability and responsibility. We declare that this agreement of the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 will become an important milestone in the development of international AI governance, and we pledge to continue our shared responsibility and solidarity for the future of human co-prosperity.

[GAFH 2026] Joo Young-seop: “The Condition for a Developed Nation in the AI ​​Era Is Not Technology, but 'Common Prosperity of Humanity'”

[Cheonji Ilbo = Reporter Park Jun-seong] The 'Global AI Forum for Human Prosperity 2026' is being held at the International Conference Hall of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jung-gu, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 12th. Joo Young-seop, a distinguished professor at the Graduate School of Engineering, Seoul National University and a panelist for the first session, is giving a presentation on the topic of 'Global AI Governance: Building a Foundation for Cooperation for Human Prosperity.' cCheonji Ilbo 2026.06.12. [Cheonji Ilbo = Reporter Hong Bo-young] Joo Young-seop, a distinguished professor at Seoul National University’s Graduate School of Engineering, emphasized that for Korea to become an advanced nation in the era of the great AI transformation, it “must dominate and lead the goal of the common prosperity of humanity.” Professor Joo stated this at the 'Global Humanity AI Forum 2026 (GAFH 2026)' held at the International Conference Hall of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jung-gu, Seoul on the 12th, noting that "a leader nation is needed" when the entire world, including the United States and China, feels anxious about the future. Professor Joo diagnosed that humanity is currently facing a civilizational crisis characterized by the climate crisis and the New Cold War era, as well as three major transformations: the AI ​​transformation, the digital transformation, and the green transformation. He explained that the zeitgeist and most fundamental objective of this era of great transformation is the securing of human co-prosperity, happiness, and sustainability. He argued that Korea, which previously focused on a strategy of catching up with developed nations, must now transition into a leading nation that presents new directions and values. In particular, he defined AI technology not as an end in itself, but merely as a means to solve humanity's challenges and ensure sustainability. The analysis suggests that since humanity's current capabilities are woefully insufficient to overcome multifaceted crises such as environmental, food, health, and safety issues, we must expand and enhance our intellectual and physical capabilities through AI. Professor Joo explained, "Human sustainability is becoming the goal, and AI technology is becoming the means to achieve it," adding, "Achieving the common prosperity and happiness of humanity is a goal in itself, and AI is emerging as the most powerful tool to achieve that goal." Professor Joo stated that the U.S. and China are mired in a technology-driven hegemonic war and failing to present a future direction, adding, “Technology flocks to the person who raises the flag of this slogan. If we effectively control and lead the objective, the technology of like-minded people from all over the world is bound to gather here.” As a historical example, the speaker cited the time when scientists participating in the U.S. 'Manhattan Project' felt skeptical about the indiscriminate use of technology following the dropping of the atomic bomb. It explained that at the time, U.S. President John F. Kennedy was able to re-mobilize the capabilities of scientists worldwide by proposing 'Moonshot Projects' that embodied the common goal of humanity: space exploration. The suggestion is that South Korea, too, must shift its paradigm toward such a purpose-oriented strategy amidst challenges such as AI technology monopolies and ethical threats. The 'UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)' and 'ESG management' were presented as specific methodologies for establishing a global AI governance framework. Professor Joo stated, "The reason I presented the UN SDGs and ESG management is that these two can serve as effective tools for building governance in the AI ​​era." He assessed that the 17 goals set by the UN, such as eradicating poverty and ending hunger, align with the values ​​pursued by human society, and that AI is a powerful tool for achieving these goals. The perspective is that if Korea proactively proposes 'Post-SDG' guidelines for the period beyond 2030 within the UN system, which has become largely ineffective due to the US-China conflict, it can form substantive global governance. Furthermore, he explained that ESG management, which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, is not merely an obligation or regulation, but a fundamental trend in management that earns trust through social values. Professor Joo emphasized, “ESG management is the foundation of management that wins the hearts of customers,” adding, “If South Korea presents this new future direction and leads with a single objective, it is the path to becoming an AI powerhouse and an advanced nation.” During the Q&A session regarding issues of AI reliability and global standards, he stated, “Regardless of whether trust collapses or not, the great transformation into AI must proceed,” adding, “We must develop further while addressing the problems.” He went on to emphasize that while it is difficult for Korea to lead in AI technology itself, it can become the nation that creates the most success stories of realizing humanity's goals by best utilizing AI, and that to achieve this, it is necessary to establish testbeds and platforms where global talent and technology converge.

[GAFH 2026] Park Jung jin “Peace and Ethics Must Be Proactively Designed Into AI Algorithms”

[Cheonji Ilbo=Nam Seung-woo] Park Jung-jin, Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology, delivers a presentation on the theme of embedding ethics and peace into AI systems at the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026, held at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jung-gu, Seoul, on June 12. c천지일보 2026.06.12. [Cheonji Ilbo=Lee Som] A proposal has been put forward that, in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), when human civilization is increasingly becoming mechanized and automated, the world must move beyond post-factum peacekeeping and proactively embed peace and ethics from the very stage at which AI algorithms are designed. Park Jung-jin, Ph.D. in Cultural Anthropology and World Peace Research Institute director, made the remarks on June 12 during a presentation titled “Peace and Ethics in the AI Era Must Begin With Algorithms” at the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 (GAFH 2026), held at the International Conference Hall of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jung-gu, Seoul. Park diagnosed that, with the arrival of the AI era, human civilization is being reorganized around calculation, efficiency, automation and optimization. “Human beings are moving from beings who actively navigate the world to beings who operate within systems,” he said. “We have entered an era in which even thinking itself is beginning to be outsourced to AI.” He explained that modern civilization is increasingly connected through vast mechanical systems, ranging from schools, states, capital, religion, language and media to AI. “Civilization is becoming less like a living organism and more like an automated operating system,” he analyzed. Park identified the “outsourcing of thought” as the most significant change in the AI era. He said that as AI assists not only with memory and calculation but also with writing, analysis and judgment, the structure of human mental functions is shifting toward dependence on platforms. “Human beings are at risk of moving from beings who ask questions to beings who receive recommendations,” Park warned. “It is not AI that is becoming like humans, but humans who are becoming fast, efficient and optimized like AI.” Amid these changes, he pointed out that the values of silence, meditation, contemplation and slowness are increasingly being treated as inefficient. “The central task of the AI era is to ensure that human beings are not reduced to machines,” he said. “We must recover the inherent human values that realize freedom, equality and peace.” Park explained that human civilization has developed within a dual structure of cooperation and conflict. He cited families, communities and international cooperation as examples of cooperation, while identifying territorial disputes, religious conflicts and economic hegemonic competition as examples of conflict. In the realm of conflict, he assessed that information warfare, cyberwarfare, the AI arms race and algorithmic warfare have recently emerged as new threats. In particular, he warned that “future wars could become wars of AI, in other words, AI proxy wars,” stressing the need to remain vigilant against the possibility of AI being used as a war machine. Park also explained the differences among the Industrial Revolution, the Information Revolution and the AI Revolution. The Industrial Revolution, he said, was the “mechanization of the body,” replacing human labor with machines, while the Information Revolution represented the “informatization of consciousness,” in which memory and calculation were externalized. By contrast, Park said the AI Revolution is fundamentally different from previous revolutions in that it automates the human thinking process itself. “The automation of thought can lead to the automation of war,” he said, calling for an international response to the spread of AI-based military decision-making and autonomous weapons systems. Park stressed that the international community, including the United Nations, must establish a new peace framework suited to the AI era. “It is difficult to guarantee sustainable peace through a post-factum approach that restores peace only after war,” he said. “A proactive approach is needed to embed peace consciousness and peace programs into the process of algorithm formation.” “Future peace will not begin with treaties or declarations, but with algorithms and structures of consciousness,” he added. “We must design a structure that makes it inherently difficult for war to occur, rather than seeking peace only after a war has broken out.” During the question-and-answer session that followed, Park was asked about the decisive difference between life and machines. “Machines can be made by human hands, but life is not made; it is naturally generated,” he said. “No matter how advanced AI becomes, it remains a creation made by humans and can never become life.” Addressing the forum’s core theme of “Hongik AI,” Park emphasized that society must now move beyond the spirit of Hongik Ingan, the principle established by Korean ancestors meaning “broad benefit to humanity,” and advance to the stage of Hongik Jayeon, or “broad benefit to nature.” “It is not enough to benefit only humans,” he said. “True co-prosperity becomes possible only when nature and ecosystems are also benefited. The spirit of Hongik Ingan and Hongik Jayeon must be reflected in the ethics and policy direction of the AI era.”

During Session 1, panelist Andy Vermaut delivers a presentation on “Global AI Governance: Building a Cooperative Framework for Human Co-Prosperity.” c천지일보 2026.06.12. [Cheonji Ilbo=Reporter Jeong Da jun] Andy Vermaut, Chairman of the World Council for Public Diplomacy and Community Dialogue (WCPDCC), emphasized the need to establish a global governance framework suited to the age of artificial intelligence (AI) during the Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 (GAFH 2026), held on June 12 at the International Conference Hall of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul. “AI knows no borders. Therefore, our responsibility cannot stop at borders,” Vermaut said. “In an era where AI connects the entire world, it is difficult to address risks and accountability issues through national regulations alone.” Speaking during Session 1, titled “Global AI Governance: Building a Cooperative Framework for Human Co-Prosperity,” Vermaut argued that the cross-border nature of AI technology requires a corresponding framework of international cooperation. He noted that AI has evolved beyond the domain of individual countries or corporations and now affects virtually every aspect of human society, including democracy, human rights, economic development, and security. “AI may be developed in one country, trained on data from many others, and deployed globally within seconds,” he said. “Yet laws, institutions, and oversight mechanisms remain largely confined within national boundaries.” Vermaut also highlighted growing concerns over the misuse of AI technologies, including deepfakes, disinformation, automated fraud, and algorithmic bias. Stressing the need for coordinated international action, he warned that “a regulatory gap in one country can become a risk for the entire world” and cautioned against a situation in which the lowest regulatory standards effectively become global norms. He further explained that global AI governance does not mean centralized control by a particular nation or institution. Rather, it is a process of creating shared standards and accountability mechanisms. “We need international standards for transparency, accountability, and safety,” he said, adding that both developed and developing countries, as well as wealthy and vulnerable nations, should have a voice in policymaking. [Cheonji Ilbo=Reporter Park Jun Sung] The Global AI Forum for Human Co-Prosperity 2026 is being held at the International Conference Hall of the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Jung-gu, Seoul, on June 12. During Session 1, panelist Andy Vermaut delivers a presentation on “Global AI Governance: Building a Cooperative Framework for Human Co-Prosperity.” c천지일보 2026.06.12. As key principles for effective global AI governance, Vermaut identified legitimacy, enforceability, and equity. He argued that countries of all sizes and levels of development must participate in decision-making processes and that accountability should be ensured through meaningful oversight and auditing systems. He also stressed that the benefits and safety of AI must not be concentrated in a small number of countries or corporations. “Human co-prosperity is not simply about economic growth or technological advancement,” he said. “The true measure of progress in the AI era is whether all humanity can share in safety, dignity, and opportunity.” During the Q&A session, Vermaut was asked how the international community could overcome conflicts of interest between major powers and smaller nations in the process of establishing global governance. He responded that legitimacy can only be achieved when countries of the Global South, civil society organizations, independent journalists, and vulnerable communities are given meaningful participation in decision-making. He also introduced the concept of an AI Risk Observatory, an international mechanism for jointly monitoring AI-related risks. The proposed body would include journalists and representatives from developing countries, enabling them to contribute to risk assessment and policy development. “Only wealthy nations should not be writing the rules while others bear the consequences,” he said, emphasizing the need for infrastructure support, financial assistance, and the sharing of expertise with countries that lack technological capacity.
