Gareth Bale has vowed to play on for Wales following their World Cup exit in Qatar.
They were knocked out of the tournament after losing 3-0 to England at the Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium as they finished bottom of Group B.
Bale has played 111 times for Wales and wants to add to that
There had been plenty of speculation that Bale could retire from international football following the end of the World Cup.
It has been a disappointing tournament for the 33-year-old and was summed up by his half-time substitution.
He only made seven touches of the ball and made one pass in a dismal 45 minutes.
Wales start Euro 2024 qualifying against Croatia in Split on March 25.
Bale said: "I'll keep going as long as I can and as long as I'm wanted.
"It's a difficult moment now but we go again in March."
It was a dismal night for Bale in Qatar
Page echoed Bale's stance and added: "I don't think it will be the last time you see him in a Welsh jersey."
It was Wales' first World Cup since 1958 and there was plenty of disappointment that they only managed one point, and one goal, in Qatar.
Bale told the BBC: "Everyone's disappointed but we're all proud of what we've achieved to get here.
"We have to look how far we've come. Of course we wanted to get out of the group, but football's difficult.
Bale touched the ball just seven times against England
"We didn't live up to our expectations at this tournament.
"If you'd told us two years ago that we would play in a World Cup, we'd have all pinched ourselves.
"We'll all walk out of that changing room with our held high and proud of each other.
"It's been difficult at this tournament, we haven't played very well. But we've given everything and we won't have any regrets."
England finished top of Group B with seven points from a possible nine
