ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines -- Zamboanga City will sign a sisterhood agreement with Guigang City in the Guangxi Autonomous Region in China next week.
Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar said the signing will be done when the delegation of Chinese officials visits next Tuesday.
She said the signing of the twinning agreement will finalize a letter of intent that she and Guigang City officials led by Mayor Li Xinyuan signed in Nanning, China in September 2015 during the 12th China-ASEAN Expo.
The agreement is meant to foster exchanges and cooperation between the two cities in terms of economy, trade, science and technology, culture, education, sports and health.
President Rodrigo Duterte is in China this week on an official state visit. He has openly said that he wants warmer relations between the Philippines and China, as well as Russia.
