China to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to Venezuela: Spokesperson
BEIJING, Jun 26 (APP):The Chinese government and the Red Cross Society of China would each provide emergency humanitarian assistance to Venezuela.
China stood ready to offer further support based on the evolution of the disaster situation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Friday, in response to a question from foreign media regarding specific areas of coordination between China and Venezuela’s government on rescue operations, emergency supplies and other forms of humanitarian aid.
The earthquakes in Venezuela have caused heavy casualties and extensive property losses. The Chinese government has extended its condolences to the Venezuelan government and people, which the Venezuelan side has acknowledged with gratitude, Guo told media persons in a press conference.
“Two Chinese nationals have lost their lives in the earthquakes so far. The Chinese Embassy in Venezuela is doing all it can to account for the safety of Chinese nationals in the country and will render all necessary assistance. We remind all Chinese nationals staying in Venezuela to stay alert to secondary disasters triggered by earthquakes,” Guo said.
