China's Foreign Ministry on Sunday said China is ready to provide
every possible form of support and assistance to Tonga after the country
was hit by continuous volcanic eruptions and the ensuing tsunami waves. "China
extends deep condolences and sincere sympathies to the government and
people of Tonga, and stands ready to provide every possible support and
assistance at Tonga's request," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang
Wenbin said in a statement. Wang said China is closely watching
the situation in Tonga. "The Chinese Embassy in Tonga immediately
activated the emergency response mechanism and learned about the
situation of Chinese citizens after the disaster through various
channels. So far, no casualties of Chinese citizens have been reported,"
Wang said. The eruptions of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai valcano
in Tonga on Friday and Saturday have had a significant impact on the
South Pacific island country, especially its capital Nuku'alofa. The full extent of the natural disaster was not apparent as communications were still cut off on Sunday.
