Expanding Opportunity for China- Philippines Cooperation--Relations between China and the Philippines have reached new highs across the board

This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. I want to offer my congratulations. China has seized remarkable achievements over past decades. Now as the second largest economy, China leads the world in many realms of science and technology. Since President Rodrigo Duterte took office in 2016, China-Philippines relations have been deepened and consolidated.
