China and the Philippines are two countries as close as brothers. Like brothers, the two nations will always have a special bond that ties them together.
Over the past years, under the strategic guidance of leaders of the two countries, China and the Philippines have established a comprehensive strategic cooperative relationship, bringing tangible benefits to the citizens of both nations.
In recent time, Chinese President Xi Jinping’s Special Representative, Vice President Wang Qishan attended the inauguration ceremony of Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. , State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi paid an official visit to the Philippines.
The close high-level contacts between the two countries have injected strong impetus into the development of bilateral relations. Looking ahead, China is willing to work with the new administration of the Philippines, to adhere to the good-neighborly friendship, and deepen practical cooperation, so as to usher in a new era of the “Golden Age” in bilateral ties.
This is what the photo exhibition on the Achievements of China-Philippines Cooperation, entitled “Transcend the Millennia Friendship, Greet a New Era of Golden Age” wants to showcase.

“This Photo Exhibition will show to the viewers the achievements of China-Philippine cooperation, especially in the past 6 years. The pictures chosen are just a small part of the immense number of our cooperation, which highlight the most significant moments of high-level exchanges, major economic and trade cooperation, and key joint anti-pandemic endeavors,” said Consul General Li Lin of the of the Chinese Consulate General in Davao in his message during the opening of the photo exhibit on Tuesday.
