这位女外交官名叫巴西里奥。2014年3月就任菲律宾驻华大使,从她在北京递交国书的那一刻起,就面临前所未有的挑战。南海争端让中国和菲律宾关系陷入僵局,这位外交官上任希望带来了一把金钥匙。巴西里奥在中国,以女性的外交风范传递着友谊和善意。
This outstanding female diplomat is H.E. Mrs. Erlinda F. Basilio. She came to China and became the Philippine ambassador to China in March 2014.

Mrs. Basilio delivered a friendly message to China with her unique female diplomatic demeanor and kind interpretation to the friendship between the two countries.
