BEIJING, June 17 (Xinhua) — China’s Foreign Ministry, relevant embassies and consulates, together with other government agencies, are making every effort to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens in Iran and Israel and promptly organize their evacuation, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday.
The diplomat made the statement at a regular briefing, answering a question about China’s plans to evacuate its citizens from Iran and Israel amid the military escalation following Israeli strikes on Iran.
Protecting the safety of Chinese citizens abroad is an absolute priority for the country’s government, Guo Jiakun emphasized, noting that after the outbreak of the Israeli-Iranian conflict, the Chinese Foreign Ministry, as well as Chinese embassies and consulates in both countries, immediately launched a consular emergency response mechanism and asked the authorities of both countries to effectively ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions.
“Some Chinese citizens have now been safely evacuated to neighboring countries,” the official said. –0–
