Philippine envoy's China trip shelved until 'proper time'
Manila
A VISIT to China by a Philippine special envoy tasked with rebuilding tattered ties with Beijing has been cancelled, his aides said on Tuesday, the latest turn in a foreign policy increasingly unpredictable under the new president.
Fidel Ramos, president from 1992-1998, would still go to Beijing, but when the time was right, according to an aide. News of the aborted trip was first posted on the website of the Philippine embassy in Beijing, informing its citizens that a gathering with Mr Ramos was now off.
