杜特尔特:允许中国船只调查菲律宾领土

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".

菲律宾总统罗德里格·杜特尔特周一表示，他同意中国监视船进入菲律宾海域，这与其国防部长“非常关切”的说法产生了矛盾。

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.

杜特尔特还告诉记者，他不想与中国在班哈姆高地（位于菲律宾本岛吕宋岛东北方的海底）上“发生矛盾” -这个被联合国认定为菲律宾无可争议的领土 - 部分原因是他想要中国的经济援助。

"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."

他们没有入侵，因为我们之间有个协议，当记者问及中国监视船时杜特尔特回答道

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

这是某些人在夸大其辞，双方之前就已经达成协议。那是一艘考察船，他们很早之前就通知我们了。
