Chairman Ischinger,Dear Friends,I am delighted to attend the Munich Security Conference(MSC)once again and to meet with old and new friends on the“cloud”.In the past few years,the most frequently discussed topic at the MSC was“uncertainty”.And this year it has been replaced by a sense of“helplessness”.All this reflects the deep confusion among nations about the current state of the world,as well as their widely shared concern about its future.Secretary-General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres cautioned expressly many times that the world is at risk of division,and major countries are expected to shoulder their responsibilities and live up to international obligations.
Your Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo,Your Excellency Secretary of Foreign Affairs Teodoro Locsin,Ministers,Friends,Good afternoon!It is my great pleasure to join you again at the Manila Forum for China-Philippines Relations.A year ago,Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and I announced together the launch of the Forum in Manila.I am very glad to see it growing rapidly during the past year and its role in promoting the mutual trust and cooperation between our two peoples.I would like to salute Your Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and people from all sectors in both countries who have worked so hard for China-Philippines friendship.
