Q: According to reports, on July 9, Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha pledged to make all-out efforts in the ongoing search and rescue operation and get to the bottom of the accident when visiting the command center for the search and rescue efforts regarding the boats capsizal accident off Thailand's Phuket island. However, a Thai official blamed the accident on the Chinese tour operators because the travel agencies insisted on letting the boats set out to sea despite the warnings of bad weather issued by the meteorological department. What is your comment on this? Are you satisfied with Thailand's handling of this accident? Have you asked the Thai side to shoulder the relevant responsibility? 

A: With regard to the boats capsizal accident off Thailand's Phuket island, as of 1 p.m. July 10, 75 people have been rescued, 44 lost their lives and three are still missing. Since the accident happened, China and Thailand have been conducting close cooperation in the search and rescue operation and follow-up matters. The Foreign Ministry, China's diplomatic missions in Thailand and the joint working group of the Chinese government remain in close communication and coordination with the Thai side. We have asked the Thai government and competent authorities for their best efforts in locating the missing, treating the injured, finding out the cause of the accident, and making proper arrangements for follow-up matters.

　　昨天，泰国总理巴育前往事发地视察指导搜救工作，与中国驻泰国大使吕健、中国政府联合工作组会晤，并共同赴医院看望、慰问受伤中国游客及遇难游客家属。巴育总理表示，中泰一家亲，泰方会全力以赴搜救并处理好此次事故，像对待自己家人一样对待中国受伤人员和遇难者家属，提供一切协助和便利，做好善后工作。泰警方将尽快查明事故原因，明确责任方并追究责任，绝不姑息。泰方将以此次事故为戒，采取切实措施和行动改善旅游安全环境，加强船只安全检查，改进海况预警机制。泰方愿同中方加强旅游安全合作，为赴泰中国游客提供更安全的旅游环境，避免类似不幸事故再次发生。

Since July 7, the Thai side has in total dispatched more than 60 ships, flown over 40 flights and sent nearly 100 frogmen and volunteer divers and 1,000-strong military forces in the region to patrol and engage in the search and rescue efforts around the clock. Moreover, the searching area has been expanded to the waters off Krabi, Phang Nga and Trang in light of the movement of ocean currents. The Thai side promised that their search efforts will not cease until every missing Chinese tourist is found.

Yesterday, Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha was at the scene to guide the search and rescue work. He met with Chinese Ambassador to Thailand Lyu Jian and the joint working group of the Chinese government. They later visited the injured Chinese tourists in hospitals and expressed their condolences to the bereaved families. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha said that Thailand and China share brotherhood and the Thai side will spare no efforts to search for and rescue the missing, properly handle this accident, treat the injured Chinese tourists and the bereaved families as  their own family members, go all out to provide assistance and facilitation and make proper arrangements for follow-up matters. The Thai police will find out the cause of the accident as soon as possible and figure out the parties who are to blame for the accident and hold them accountable with no tolerance. The Thai side will learn a lesson from this accident to take concrete measures to better ensure the safety of tourists, beef up security checks on ships and improve the maritime early warning mechanism. The Thai side is willing to step up cooperation on tourist safety with China, provide a safer environment for Chinese tourists traveling to Thailand and prevent a recurrence of such a tragedy.

The Chinese side will continue to join hands with the Thai competent authorities to make utmost efforts to search for and rescue the missing and deal with the follow-up matters, offer assistance to the Chinese tourists involved and their family members so as to ensure and
