BANGKOK, Thailand – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, November 17, on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand.It will be Marcos’ first bilateral meeting with his Chinese counterpart and his first bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the APEC Summit.
Marcos has met with several world leaders in bilateral meetings in the first months of his presidency. Last September, on the sidelines of a visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, Marcos met with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and United States President Joe Biden. A Department of Foreign Affairs official earlier told media that a bilateral meeting between the Philippines and China was expected before the end of 2022.
Philippine-China relations have been through extreme highs and lows. Under the presidency of the late Benigno Aquino III, relations were at their most tense over the West Philippine Sea dispute. It was the Aquino administration that brought China to court over that dispute.
