Top diplomats of the Philippines and China have agreed that a stable relationship between the two countries amid differences over the West Philippine Sea and the South China Sea is necessary not only for the benefit of their peoples but also for peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region.
The Philippines is asserting its sovereignty over the West Philippine Sea, a part of the bigger South China Sea that China is entirely claiming. Manalo called on Qin "to elevate our bilateral relations to even greater heights" as Marcos also shared with Xi the commitment to ensure the continuous "positive trajectory" of the Philippines-China relations.
Qin thanked the Philippine government for the invitation and the meeting held during the celebration of the end of Ramadan, a holiday. He said "this is ample evidence of the great importance both sides attached to the maintenance and further enhancement of our bilateral relations."
