President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. will seek to resolve bilateral and regional issues with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their second in-person meeting in China that is scheduled to happen on Wednesday.
Marcos made the pronouncement on Tuesday before he left Manila for Beijing for a 48-hour state visit upon the invitation of his Chinese counterpart. The President said he looks “forward to discussing political-security issues of a bilateral and regional nature” with Xi.
The Philippines is now also seeking clarification on a report that China continues to conduct reclamation activities in unoccupied land features in the South China Sea.In his departure speech at the Villamor Airbase in Pasay City, Marcos said he will build on the diplomatic relationship that the Philippines, through his parents, forged with China 47 years ago.
On the other hand, agriculture, energy, infrastructure, science and technology, trade and investment, and people-to-people exchanges are among the areas of cooperation that Marcos will strengthen in his trip to China, his 7th foreign trip and his 1st non-ASEAN state visit since assuming the presidency.
