Manila, December 12 (AseanAll)  — On December 11,2025, Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Jing Quan presented his Letter of Credence to Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. at the Malacañang Palace in Manila.

In his presentation speech, Jing Quan said that a sound and stable China-Philippines relationship is a necessity for the common development of China and the Philippines, and a boon for the prosperity and progress of the region. China hopes that the Philippines, for the benefit of its own fundamental and long-term interests, works with China in the same direction, adheres to the right strategic course for China-Philippines relations, and brings the relationship back onto the track of sound and steady development at an early date.

PH President Marcos welcomed Ambassador Jing Quan’s assumption of duty, and said in his acceptance message that China is one of the Philippines’ most important friends and partners in the world. 

“I'm sure that there will be many opportunities for us to make the relationship between our two countries stronger, deeper and more important as the years go by. ”“I look forward to working with you in managing the differences and intensifying the cooperation between our two countries. Our differences should be the exception in our ties rather than the norm,” said Marcos.
