Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference on August 31. A reporter asked: The Geelong landslide disaster relief work is still ongoing. Can the Chinese side further explain the progress of foreign-related rescue work? Guo Jiakun said that a glacier collapsed suddenly in the Nepalese border area, causing serious landslides, causing major casualties and loss of connectivity between China and Nepal. While carrying out emergency rescue and self-help, the Chinese side immediately lent a helping hand to the Nepalese side to support the Nepalese side in emergency disaster relief. Guo Jiakun explained that the Chinese government provided emergency cash aid and humanitarian aid to the Nepalese side, and the first batch of 50 tons of relief supplies has already arrived in Kathmandu. Rescue teams composed of two groups of Chinese tunnel rescue experts have already assisted the disaster area in Nepal. We are also sharing important information such as images, satellite and hydrological data from the disaster area with the Nepalese side, including warning information on the upstream dam lake, and are actively assisting the stranded Nepalese citizens to return to Nepal as soon as possible. As of noon yesterday, all Chinese personnel contacted in the disaster area in Nepal have been properly relocated and are in a safe state. Currently, the Chinese side is making every effort to search and rescue missing persons at home and abroad, maintaining close communication with foreign embassies in China, and working together to map out and deal with foreign missing persons.
