Description:

NINGXIA – A maritime dispute has not stopped the Philippines and China from exploring other areas of cooperation. The government of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in China lauded the signing this week of a landmark “friendship agreement” with Palawan province, the first of its kind after the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) ruled that the disputed West Philippine Sea belonged to Manila not to Beijing.
