China and the Philippines are close neighbors facing each other across the sea. While it is normal for the two countries to have differences, the China-Philippines cooperation goes far beyond maritime differences, let alone define the relations between the two countries, as Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated. The Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. said that China has always been the Philippines' strongest partner, a close neighbor, and a good friend. Among all the fruitful partnerships, infrastructure cooperation has been a highlight of bilateral relations over the past six years, with 17 projects already completed and more than 20 projects being implemented or in progress. Very recently, the promotion for joint development of offshore oil and gas has been highlighted in what could be another important cooperation that has the potential to be on the table. In an exclusive interview with the Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian (Huang), he explained to the Global Times (GT) how the two sides can become good neighbors who help each other, good relatives who are close to each other, and good partners who can cooperate for win-win results.
