Philippines – China Friendship and Cooperation
Baguio City – After the unveiling ceremony of the Photo Exhibition on the Achievements of China – Philippines Cooperation, the Chinese Embassy of Manila Minister Counselor Wang Yulei and Baguio City Mayor Benjamin B. Magalong lead the Photo exhibition tour on September 19, 2022, at the Atrium, SM City Baguio.
Mayor Magalong points to the photo that brings back memories of the past activities and programs that were attended and so did Minister Counselor Wang Yulei who they had a happy conversation.
According to the mayor, “This Photo Exhibit speaks much of the meaningful relationship that we have with each other,”
“Like many other Filipinos – most especially those of us who have ancestral roots in Baguio – I have always considered our Filipino-Chinese friends beyond the level of mere friendship.
“In times of need and opportunity, our Chinese friends have stood out prominently among the key sectors of our people on whom we can rely upon any time at all,”
“Thank you for your continued support in our endeavors. Let the special relations we have as long-time friends, borne on the shoulders of shared challenges, be made stronger and more enduring each passing year,”
Minister Counselor Wang Yulei said, “There is a relevant Chinese proverb that comes to mind when I think of the growing ties between China and the Philippines. The saying goes, and I quote, “a good neighbor is a priceless treasure.” Indeed, the neighborliness demonstrated by both our countries is a priceless treasure that has allowed us to reach multiple cooperation milestones these past six years. And to showcase these sterling achievements, we have launched these photo exhibitions that have been touring different cities in the country for a few months now,”
Today’s photo exhibition is entitled “Transcend the Millennia Friendship, Greet a New Era of Golden Age.” The photos presented today are highlights of the most significant events involving our two countries. These events include high-level exchanges, economic and trade cooperation activities, defense exchanges, and joint efforts to counter the global pandemic.” Photos by: Mario Oclaman //FNS
