The 4-day visit will include talks with President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Keqiang and Chairman Zhang Dejiang, touching on ways to improve bilateral relations and deepen cooperation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang said at a regular news briefing.

"China anticipates that President Duterte's visit can help with enhancing political trust, dealing with disputes properly through dialogue and bringing the bilateral strategic cooperative relationship for peace and development back to the track of sound and steady development," Geng said.

The two state leaders are set to hold talks and exchange views on improving and developing bilateral relations amid the territorial dispute over the East Sea.

After his trip to China, Duterte is set to visit Japan from October 25th to 27th./.
