據法新社報導,馬尼拉周四宣佈,應北京的要求,菲律賓總統阿基諾取消下周對中國的訪問。周三,阿基諾曾宣佈,將於下周二(9月3日)對南寧進行12個小時的訪問,出席中國-東協經貿展會。菲律賓外交部發言人赫爾南德斯(Raul Hernandez)發表聲明稱,考慮到中國要求總統在更有利的時機訪問中國,總統決定取消行程。在問及中國為何提出這一要求時,赫爾南德斯向法新社表示,"或許你可以問問中國"。中國外交部向法新社發送傳真聲明,其中沒有直接評論阿基諾取消行程,但表示雙邊關係存在"困難",並敦促馬尼拉採取措施消除"障礙"。聲明沒有說明"障礙"的具體內容。近年來,中國與菲律賓等國圍繞南中國海主權爭議的緊張關係加劇。
