As Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang paid a courtesy visit on President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. at Malacañang on Saturday, Marcos called the meeting "useful" as recent statements made by the Philippines and China may have been misinterpreted.
Huang said the Philippine government should do this if it cares for the 150,000 overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan. As to possible conflicts, Marcos said he and Qin agreed to establish more lines of communications so that any event that occurs in the West Philippine Sea that involves China and the Philippines could immediately be resolved.
Several government officials, including Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin, Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, and Special Assistant to the President Anton Lagdameo, also attended the meeting.During the meeting, the Foreign Affairs Secretary said “differences” between the Philippines and China should not stand in the way of managing the two countries’ territorial dispute in the South China Sea, adding Manila intended to “work closely” with Beijing in bolstering their economic ties.
