Aside from these, the Philippine delegation is also expected to pursue a memorandum of understanding with China on digital cooperation and an bilateral agreement on tourism cooperation during the state visit.
And although Imperial did not reveal specific details of Marcos’ talking points on the West Philippine Sea, so as not to “preempt or second guess what the President will say,” he said that this was among “important issues affecting our bilateral relations” which Marcos intends to raise in his meeting with Xi.
“But nevertheless, he acknowledges the importance of this issue to our interests and to the Filipino people. So we expect that this issue will be discussed in the President’s meetings with Chinese leaders,” Imperial added.
