'Spring' time for China, Philippines' bilateral trade

China and the Philippines, entering a "spring" time, have seen remarkable growth in bilateral trade over the past several months, Commerce Minister Zhong Shan said on Saturday.

The two countries are complementary in their trade relationship, the minister said, citing "fruit export to China" as an example.

The two have also agreed to build an industrial park in the Philippines, Zhong said.

The two trade ministers met earlier this month during the 28th Philippine-Chinese Joint Commission on Economic and Trade Cooperation, the official bilateral mechanism for discussion of trade, investments and economic cooperation.
