President Rodrigo Duterte assured China that the Philippines “will always be a friend of the Chinese people and will not allow anyone to use the Philippines to engage in anti-China activities,” Chinese state news agency Xinhua said.
Duterte had a “productive, open and focused” telephone conversation with Chinese President Xi Thursday evening that lasted for 38 minutes, Malacañang earlier said.
In a June 12 report entitled “Xi calls for coordinated efforts to promote China-Philippines cooperation,” Xinhua said that Xi encouraged Duterte to establish “innovative approaches and methods” with China to ensure the “exchanges of necessary personnel and promote practical cooperation in various area” despite the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) crisis.
China also promised to work closely with the Philippines to “support the international solidarity in the fight against Covid-19, support the World Health Organization to better play a leading role, and jointly build a health community with a shared future for mankind,” the state media also quoted Xi as saying.
“Xi said he believes that in the process of fighting the epidemic and resuming development, the traditional friendship and mutual trust between China and the Philippines will deepen over time, and the two countries’ relationship of comprehensive strategic cooperation will usher in a broader development prospect,” it furthered.
Tuesday marked the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the Philippines.
