Arroyo to meet Chinese communist party secretary, instead of President

President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will meet with Yu Zhengsheng, Secretary of China’s Communist Party, instead of President Hu Jintao, the Palace said, correcting a statement made on Monday.

On Monday, the Office of the Press Secretary said that President Arroyo will fly to Shanghai on Tuesday afternoon to hold a meeting with China’s President and visit the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.

The meeting with Jintao is expected to "break new grounds in Philippines-China relations and increase friendly exchanges," the Office of the Press Secretary’s statement said.
