Belt and Road, AIIB provide opportunities for both countries, entrepreneurs say

The Philippines will benefit both politically and economically from China's Belt and Road Initiative, according to entrepreneurs from the country, who said they want more talks with Chinese businesspeople to discuss opportunities.

Thanks to the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road initiative, more infrastructure projects will be built in the Philippines, including highways and ports, and it will be good for the country's economy and increase access to the world, George Siy, chairman emeritus of the Anvil Business Club, told China Daily.
