MANILA (Philippine Daily Inquirer): The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) on Tuesday (Jan 21) said it had explored ways to step up cooperation with its counterpart, the China Coast Guard (CCG) during high-level talks last week.

The meeting led to the convening of the Joint Coast Guard Committee between the Philippines and China, which coincided with the first goodwill visit of a China Coast Guard vessel in Manila last week. The Chinese delegation was led by CCG director general Maj Gen Wang Zhongcai.
