Sa isang statement, sinabi ni Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin na ginawa ng dalawang bansa ang commitment sa official visit ni Foreign Minister Wang Yi sa Manila noong nakaraang linggo.
“The two sides agreed to conduct cooperation in the four key areas of large-scale agriculture, infrastructure, energy, and cultural and people-to-people exchanges to enhance friendship and cooperation,” sabi ni Wang.
“The Chinese side will support the Philippines in its efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency and agricultural modernization, strengthen conventional and hi-tech infrastructure, and improve its energy structure, so as to generate more tangible benefits to the Philippine people and also the Chinese people.”
Aniya, binigyang-diin ng China ang kahalagahan na tingnan ang mga bagay mula sa strategic at overall perspective, isantabi ang alitan, at gamitin ang political wisdom upang isulong ang joint development.
“Both sides stressed that the South China Sea issue is not the sum total of bilateral relations. We cannot afford to allow specific differences to define our relationship or allow individual disputes to interfere with overall cooperation,” sabi ni Wang.
Sa kanyang July 5-6 trip sa Pilipinas ay bumisita si Wang kina Presidente Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Vice President Sara Duterte, Foreign Secretary Enrique Manalo, National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos, at sa iba pang mga opisyal ng pamahalaan.
