Statement: On the Secretary’s Interview in Berlin

22 February 2019 – The Department views as unfortunate the biased representation by Mr. Arnd Henze of ARD Capital Studio Berlin of his interview with Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro L. Locsin Jr. at the sidelines of the opening ceremony of the new building of the Philippine Embassy in Berlin.

The video posted by Mr. Henze on his blog is incomplete and misleading. It failed to show Mr. Henze's deliberate attempts to provoke Secretary Locsin into giving controversial remarks. END
