Diplomatic call

President Rodrigo Duterte welcomed China’s new ambassador to the Philippines Huang Xilian, who vowed to strengthen ties between the two countries. Duterte has sought to establish a warmer relationship with Beijing since he assumed office in 2016, but Beijing's aggressiveness in the South China Sea sparked anti-China sentiments among Filipinos. The President also welcomed other envoys from Sri Lanka (Shobini Gunasekera), Denmark (Grete Sillasen), Myanmar (U Lwin Oo), Greece (Antonis Alexandridis), and South Africa (Bartinah Ntombizodwa Radebe-Netshitenzhe).
