Sea row no barrier to warmer China ties: Manila

Beijing

TERRITORIAL disputes between China and the Philippines may take a lifetime to resolve but should not prevent warming ties, the Philippine foreign secretary said on Wednesday, as President Rodrigo Duterte seeks to mend relations on a visit to China.

Mr Duterte arrived in Beijing on Tuesday with at least 200 top business people to pave the way for what he calls a new commercial alliance, amid deteriorating ties with longtime ally the United States.
