Chinese Ambassador Li Minggang visited families of Chinese nationals affected by the devastating earthquakes in Vanuatu this week, offering heartfelt condolences and support. 💔
On Wednesday, Ambassador Li met with the families, expressing deep sympathy for their loss. He assured them that the embassy stands ready to provide all necessary assistance during this challenging time. 🤝 He also urged the Vanuatu government and relevant authorities to take swift action in post-disaster recovery efforts.
Vanuatu, an island nation in the South Pacific, was shaken by a powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake on December 17. This tragic event led to at least 14 fatalities and injured over 200 people. Just days later, on December 22, a 6.1-magnitude quake struck again, causing further damage and fear among residents. 🌊
In response to the disaster, China dispatched a team of four technical specialists to Vanuatu to aid in the recovery efforts. 🇨🇳✈️ According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the team will conduct scientific assessments of building structures in the hardest-hit areas, evaluate safety concerns, and investigate potential secondary disasters.
Natural disasters like these remind us of our shared vulnerability and the importance of global solidarity. 🌍❤️ Communities around the world are coming together to support Vanuatu in its time of need.
Stay tuned for more updates on recovery efforts and how you can help. Let's stand together and support those affected by this tragedy. 🙏
