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.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs directed the Consular Department and the Vietnamese Consulate General in Nanning to continue closely monitoring the case and co-ordinating efforts with Vietnamese and Chinese agencies to take necessary citizen protection measures aimed at assisting the victims' families in handling relevant procedures, as well as helping the two injured citizens return home soon.
