Q: Earlier this week, a tragic plane crash took away Professor Yu Kongjian’s life in Brazil. Can the Foreign Ministry update us on how the work on handling the incident is going?

A: The safety of Chinese nationals overseas is always a top priority for the Chinese government. The Foreign Ministry is working with the Brazilian side to handle well relevant matters. Once again we extend our deepest condolences over the passing of Professor Yu Kongjian and the Brazilian personnel onboard the plane. The Foreign Ministry will direct our embassy in Brazil to do their utmost to ensure that all related matters will be properly treated.
