The ambassadors of the world’s two superpowers—China and the United States—who are posted in the Philippines held their first ever one-on-one meeting as the two countries seek to increase their diplomatic ties with the country.
Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian on Friday met with his US counterpart, MaryKay Carlson, in Huang’s workplace.
It is not clear what specific topics the two envoys talked about; but Kanishka Gangopadhyay, the spokesman of the US Embassy in Manila, said “the meeting was the latest in a series of initial courtesy calls Ambassador Carlson has had with other Ambassadors.” But since the assumption to office of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. in July, their respective governments have been developing closer ties with the country.
