Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr. and visiting Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister (SCFM) Wang Yi met in Taguig City Saturday, Jan. 16, to reaffirm the two nations’ cooperation in addressing the pandemic and infrastructure collaborations.
The ministerial talks, according to Locsin, covered a full agenda on enhancing the relationship, which had been elevated to the level of Comprehensive Strategic Cooperation during the State visit of President Xi Jinping to the Philippines in November 2018.
“With both countries at a crucial stage in curbing COVID-19 and responding to the new strain, the two Ministers continued discussions started last year on cooperation to surmount the pandemic in terms of containment, vaccines, and economic revitalization,” the Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.
