Regional issues, economic matters and plans for his upcoming State Visit in China next year were among the issues discussed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in first forthcoming ever meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Marcos said his “pleasant exchange” with Xi on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Thailand enabled him to get to know the Chinese state leader better.
“The bilateral meetings are really just a kind of getting-to-know-you and that was the same with our meeting,” Marcos said in a news statement issued on Thursday. Among the issues they discussed were matters related to “agriculture, energy, infrastructure and people-to-people connections.” Marcos hopes to have a more extensive discussion with Xi during his State Visit in China in January 2023.“And they had a few minutes of recollecting the meetings that they have had, which I think helped to set the tone of the meeting. So I am looking forward to January and the State Visit to China,” the President said.In an interview with reporters in Thailand, House Speaker Martin G. Romualdez said Arroyo gave Marcos some advice before he met with Xi.
