BEIJING - Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno said on Wednesday that the deals to be signed in China will help the Marcos administration's "Build Better More" infrastructure agenda.
"We will be signing more than a dozen agreements and loans, which will allow us to accelerate our 'Build Better More' initiative. And also, other areas like agriculture will be a big part of this mission," Diokno said in an interview."This very short trip will promise to be a very successful one," he said.
The Office of the Press Secretary said the "Build Better More" infrastructure agenda "seeks to construct, among other things, the Farm-to-Market Road Network Master Plan, a detailed framework, and strategic directions for sustainable projects." On Wednesday afternoon, Marcos met with his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping. It is expected that the territorial issue in the West Philippine Sea will be tackled during their meeting. —
