国内英语资讯:Xi calls for coordinated efforts to promote China-Philippines cooperation

China is willing to work closely with the Philippines to support the international solidarity in the fight against the epidemic, support the World Health Organization to better play a leading role, and jointly build a health community with a shared future for mankind, Xi noted.

Xi stressed that the epidemic is a crisis, but the two countries should have the courage to seize new opportunities in the crisis and make new prospects amid changes.

Xi said he believes that in the process of fighting the epidemic and resuming development, the traditional friendship and mutual trust between China and the Philippines will deepen over time, and the two countries' relationship of comprehensive strategic cooperation will usher in a broader development prospect.

Upholding friendship between China and the Philippines fully conforms to the fundamental and long-term interests of the two peoples, and history will surely prove that, Xi said.

Duterte said that this year marks the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and China, which is an important milestone in the relations between the two countries.

Under Xi's strong leadership, he said, China has not only successfully controlled the epidemic itself, but also generously extended a helping hand to the Philippines and other partners.

In particular, President Xi announced that China's COVID-19 vaccine, after research and development and being put into use, will be made a global public good, which will benefit all mankind, he added.
