MANILA: Philippine said yesterday it would bring home its new ambassador to China after she suffered a stroke, but stressed the move would not affect efforts to solve a territorial dispute over the South China Sea.
Veteran diplomat Sonia Brady, 71, who was picked to help ease tensions with China, is “recovering slowly” after she was rushed to a Beijing hospital last week, Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario said.
“Hopefully if the recovery rate continues, we maybe able to bring her back to the Philippine in about two weeks time,” he said.
