Two people carrying Vietnamese identification papers were among 11 victims killed in a recent severe road accident in Jingxi city of Guangxi region in China, thereby bringing the total number of Vietnamese victims up to 13 including two injured, according to the Consulate General of Vietnam in China’s Nanning city.
Immediately after receiving the information on May 22, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs urgently co-ordinated efforts with domestic authorities in a bid to verify the identities of the victims, swiftly notify their families, and contact relevant localities in order to carry out necessary procedures.
