MANILA, May 17 (Reuters) - The Philippine government has told the European Union it will no longer accept development aid from the bloc, putting at risk programmes to assist poor and conflict-hit regions in the country's south, Europe's ambassador said on Wednesday. Ambassador Franz Jessen said the decision to cut aid from the EU, a strong critic of President Rodrigo Duterte's drugs war, would mean the loss of about 250 million Euros ($278.73 million) worth of grants mostly allocated to Muslim communities. Manila's move comes days after Duterte won billions of dollars in pledges from China after attending the Belt and Road summit in Beijing.
马尼拉,5月17号(路透社)——菲律宾政府对欧盟表示将不再接受欧盟的开发援助,这将使得该国南部贫穷冲突地区的援助项目陷入困境,欧洲大使周三如是说。该大使称拒绝欧盟援助意味着菲律宾将不再接受欧盟的2.5亿欧元,其中大部分用于穆斯林社区。欧盟是杜特尔特总统禁毒战争的强烈批评者。在此之前,在参加北京的一带一路峰会后,杜特尔特获得了北京数十亿美元的资金承诺。
