00:00Eighty exhibitors from the Davao region generated $1.5 billion in sales during the 7th China
00:07International Import Expo held in Shanghai, China.
00:11The Department of Agriculture in the Davao region said the Chinese market was particularly
00:16impressed with Davao's durian, highlighting its sweet and creamy texture.
00:21In addition to growing agricultural ties, Philippine officials are optimistic about
00:26strengthening business relations with China in emerging sectors like renewable energy,
00:31electric vehicles, battery production, solar and wind energy, and the digital economy.
00:37Meanwhile, the International Trade Center hopes to bring more Philippine MSMEs to future
00:43CIIE events, helping them leverage this global platform to create more jobs for Filipinos.
00:52We see a positive trajectory, a continued positive trajectory in Philippines-China economic
00:58relations and we hope to see more engagement in other sectors as well.
01:03This strong business with China is the result of deep collaboration with many of them.
01:15By generating new trades, we hope that they can grow their business and ultimately can
01:20employ more people at their home countries.
