抗议者在马尼拉与警察发生冲突,峰会即将结束

2015-11-20来源:VOA

Police used water cannons to disrupt protesters Thursday in Manila, where Asia-Pacific leaders are wrapping up a summit focused on economic issues, territorial disputes and global efforts to combat terrorism.

The left-wing protesters were trying to break a police barricade and gain closer access to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit, which is hosting world leaders including U.S. President Barack Obama.

Renato Reyes of the New Patriotic Alliance says the group rejects the "neo-liberal" proposals being raised at the APEC meeting, which is vetting ways to prop up small and medium businesses.

There were no reports of injuries during the clashes, which occurred about one kilometer from the convention center where the two-day APEC conference ends Thursday.
