(Eagle News) — Chinese President Xi Jinping could visit the Philippines this year, according to Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano.

He said President Xi readily accepted the invitation, and said that the best time to visit the Philippines might be this year.
President Duterte visited China in 2016 upon the invitation of the Chinese President.
