Foreign Ministry Spokesman Lin Jian presided over a regular press conference on August 27. The reporter asked: On August 26, a landslide disaster occurred on the Nepalese side, causing major casualties and loss of connectivity at Geelong Port in Jilong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. Can the spokesperson explain China's disaster relief situation? Is China communicating with Nepal? Do you know the situation of Chinese citizens affected by the disaster in Nepal and foreign citizens affected by the disaster in China? In response, Lin Jian said that the relevant departments of the Chinese government have initiated a national second-level disaster relief emergency response. Emergency rescue forces from all sides have rushed to the area as soon as possible, and the search and rescue work at the scene is being carried out in an intense and orderly manner. I believe that under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the people in the disaster area will definitely be able to overcome the disaster and rebuild their homes. Lin Jian also said that the landslide disaster caused major human casualties and loss of connectivity between China and Nepal. China expresses its sincere condolences to the Nepalese Government and the people affected by the disaster. The Chinese side is closely communicating, coordinating and cooperating with the Nepalese side to do a good job in search and rescue, and will provide emergency assistance according to the needs of the Nepalese side. According to information released locally, it is initially known that 260 foreign citizens are currently missing from the affected area. Affected by the disaster situation, specific information is still being further verified. Lin Jian said that the Chinese rescue work treats Chinese and foreign personnel equally, and is maintaining communication with the relevant countries' embassies in China to report on the situation. Nearly 100 Chinese citizens were lost in the affected area on the Nepalese side. The Chinese Embassy in Nepal is further verifying and issuing consular reminders to the Nepalese side. We once again remind local Chinese citizens to take refuge in a timely manner and take precautions to prevent secondary disasters. If necessary, contact the Chinese Embassy in Nepal at any time, and the Embassy will do its best to provide assistance.
