"We have full confidence that under your leadership, Mr. President, and the leadership of your government, the rebuilding of Marawi will be completed at a very early date", said Li in a news conference with Duterte at the presidential palace. Defense officials ended the war on October 23, or exactly five months later.

He assured Duterte that China remains committed to helping the Philippines as it proceeds to rehabilitating Marawi City.

Sino-Philippine relations have improved since Duterte's election previous year as he sought to downplay his nation's maritime row with China over the South China Sea in favour of billions of dollars in trade and investment.

The meeting between Mr Modi and his Chinese premier come on the backdrop of India joining the United States, Australia and Japan in floating the Quadrilateral tie up structure essentially to counter Chinese influence in the region and also globally.

Li Keqiang also told worldwide delegates and journalists in Manila said that China's greatest hope is for peace and stability in the South China Sea.

Moreover, former Philippine President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who is now a national legislator, told a gathering of business leaders and ministers during the ASEAN Business and Investment Summit that China has emerged to become a collaborator in Southeast Asia, rather than a threat.

Li praised the Philippines for successfully combating terror acts perpetrated by the militants in Marawi City.

"China and all the other members of the global community firmly support the fight against terrorism in all forms. Your victory against terrorism is result of your own efforts", he said. "It's a symbol of the critical help, the crucial moment when we needed most and there was nobody to help us at that time", he said.

On June 27, the Chinese government donated P15 million for the relief operations in Marawi. Like you Mr President said, China and the Philippines are close neighbors.

As of September, China has donated a total of P85 million, according to Lorenzana.

A signing of various memoranda of agreements will also take place Wednesday.

The Chinese and the Philippine economies are highly complementary, and their cooperation enjoys great potential, Li said.

"We express our gratitude to [Chinese] President Xi Jinping and kindly extend to him my warm feelings and including the Filipino people".

"We look forward to a more robust, more productive relations in the days to come. You have proven to be a good friend of the Philippines", he said.

"Maybe in the future, the Philippines would also show its debt of gratitude to China for all of the fundings, public works, bridges and all", he added, referring to other forms of aid from Beijing.

The Philippines, he said, is willing to enhance cooperation with China in such fields as connectivity, finance, innovation and others.
