杜特爾特:允許中國船隻調查菲律賓領土

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday he had agreed to allow Chinese surveillance ships into Filipino waters contradicting his defence minister who described their presence as "very concerning".

菲律賓總統羅德里格·杜特爾特週一表示，他同意中國監視船進入菲律賓海域，這與其國防部長“非常關切”的說法產生了矛盾。

Duterte also told reporters he did not want to have a "fight" with China over Benham Rise -- waters recognised by the United Nation as indisputably Philippine territory -- partly because he wanted Chinese economic help.

杜特爾特還告訴記者，他不想與中國在班哈姆高地（位於菲律賓本島呂宋島東北方的海底）上“發生矛盾” -這個被聯合國認定爲菲律賓無可爭議的領土 - 部分原因是他想要中國的經濟援助。

"They have no incursion because we have an agreement" Duterte told reporters when asked about the reported presence of Chinese surveillance ships at Benham Rise."

他們沒有入侵，因爲我們之間有個協議，當記者問及中國監視船時杜特爾特回答道

Some people are just blowing it up. We previously agreed. It was a research ship. We were advised of it way ahead."

這是某些人在誇大其辭，雙方之前就已經達成協議。那是一艘考察船，他們很早之前就通知我們了。
