Beijing—President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is set to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping today where he will raise “political-security issues,” including the South China Sea situation.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Louise Araneta-Marcos arrive in Beijing Tuesday evening for a three-day state visit.
Mr. Marcos arrived in Beijing last night for a three-day state visit until Jan. 5, his first outside Southeast Asia upon the invitation of Xi. Mr. Marcos pushed through with the state visit despite the current spike of COVID-19 cases in China as the host government ensured that “bubble” arrangements were made to guarantee his and the entire Philippine delegation’s safety.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo will sign three agreements with the Chinese government during the state visit, DFA spokesperson Ma. Teresita Daza said. The hotline, which will link the foreign ministries of the two countries, aims to avoid “miscalculation and miscommunication” in the contested waters of the South China Sea, Imperial added.
