Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang's April 21-23 visit will be his first official engagement with the Philippines since he was appointed foreign minister and state councillor in December.
MANILA, Philippines – Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang will make an official visit to the Philippines late this week and will discuss with his counterpart regional security issues, including the South China Sea, the Philippines said on Tuesday, April 18.
Qin and Philippine counterpart Enrique Manalo will discuss implementing agreements made during President Ferdinand Marcos’ state visit to China in January and the outcome of last month’s bilateral talks on the South China Sea. China’s ambassador to the Philippines last week caused a stir when he accused the country of “stoking the fire” of regional tensions by offering expanded military base access to treaty ally the United States, which he accused of interfering.
