Russian ships will also be able to moor at the shores of the island state, in advance notifying the authorities.
The President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte said that the ships of the Russian Navy can freely enter the territorial waters of his country.
He also noted that the vessels can moor off the coast of the island state, in advance having notified authorities about their plans.
As reported by Bloomberg, speaking at a briefing in Manila, the Philippine leader made a similar offer to the Chinese side.
Earlier, a similar statement Duterte did in January, when the port of Manila came a large anti-submarine ship of the Russian Navy “Admiral Tributs”.
