China urges Malaysia to fulfil obligation
Print Edition
CHINA called on Malaysia to fulfil its obligation of compensation to families of MH370 passengers and continue to search for the plane immediately after Malaysia declared the plane’s disappearance an accident.
“At this moment of sadness, the Chinese government expresses its deep sorrow for the misery of those on board, and offers its profound sympathies and sincere condolences to their families,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement.
Her comments came after Malaysia’s civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said yesterday the status of missing flight MH370 has been finalized as lost.
“We call on the Malaysian side to act on the commitments made in the statement (of declaring MH370 an accident), fulfil its obligation of compensation, protect the lawful rights and interests of the families and provide them with support and assistance,” Hua said.
“We also call on the Malaysian side to remain fully committed to the search and investigation efforts and keep the families updated on the latest progress.”
The Chinese government will work closely with the governments of Malaysia and Australia, and actively participate in the search and investigation, she said.
Since March 8, “the entire Chinese nation has been deeply concerned about the fate of their fellow countrymen aboard MH370,” Hua said.
China mobilized massive resources in an unprecedented search operation.
