Chinese rescuers have saved six people in Myanmar following a devastating earthquake, according to Guo Jiakun, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Speaking at a news briefing on Monday, Guo reported that about 400 Chinese experts, rescue personnel, and medical workers are actively involved in relief efforts in the Southeast Asian country.
The earthquake, which struck Myanmar over the weekend, has caused significant damage and displacement. The swift response from the Chinese rescue teams highlights the solidarity between neighboring countries in times of crisis.
"Our teams are working tirelessly to find survivors and provide medical assistance," Guo said. "We stand with the people of Myanmar during this difficult time."
The involvement of Chinese rescue teams underscores the importance of regional cooperation in disaster relief operations. Their efforts are aiding in search and rescue missions, medical aid, and providing essential support to those affected by the quake.
Local authorities in Myanmar have appreciated the international support. Relief operations continue as rescuers search for more survivors amid the rubble.
