BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson on Tuesday hailed Vice Premier Wang Yang's recent visit to the Philippines as a complete success that will push forward bilateral ties.

The two sides reached consensus on promoting trade, investment, infrastructure, agriculture, and tourism, spokesperson Hua Chunying said at a press briefing.
