I think there will be a lot of signings of contracts. But here, there is going to be also business matching for the 300 businessmen that are coming in today. And tomorrow will be the start of the forum and we expect that this will result to very positive investment for the Chinese here in the Philippines,&quot; he added.The second &quot;Belt and Road&quot; Forum will be held in Beijing from April 25 to 27.
