China, Philippines to enhance cooperation

Nations to emphasize infrastructure projects under Belt, Road Initiative

Without China, there would be fewer prospects for countries to grow into emerging economies, Philippine Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin said on Wednesday in Beijing.

"The emergence of a new China is creating a world where the lesser (developed countries) have a chance, and more than a chance - cooperation for mutual benefit instead of words," Locsin said at a news conference after meeting with State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
