 ◆ Philippines consulate general opens in Shanghai

The Philippines has opened a consulate general in Shanghai metropolis, east China's industrial, commercial and financial center facing the Pacific Ocean.

The consulate general, set up under an agreement reached by China and the Philippines last year, is expected to cover east China's Jiangsu and Anhui province, central China's Hubei province, and Shanghai municipality, all of which lie along the Yangtze River.

To date, as many as 44 countries have opened consulates in Shanghai, the country's most prosperous metropolis and gateway to the Yangtze River economic belt.
