问：据报道，老挝阿速坡省水电站溃坝至今仍有上百人失踪，3000多人无家可归。是否有中国公民伤亡情况通报？中方在救援方面又做了哪些工作？ 

　　答：上周我向大家简要介绍了有关情况，这里再作一些补充： 

　　首先，根据我们目前掌握的情况，没有收到有中国公民伤亡报告。 

　　第二，中国政府紧急向老挝提供了老方急需的人道主义援助物资，包括冲锋舟、帐篷和净水器等，为救灾工作发挥积极作用。 

　　第三，在老挝的中资企业、华人华侨社团和中国民间救援力量也纷纷自发投入当地救灾工作。 

Q: According to reports, the hydropower dam break in Attapeu province, the Laos has so far still left more than a hundred people missing and over 3000 homeless. Have you received any report of Chinese casualties? Has China made any rescue efforts?

A: I gave you a glimpse of the relevant situation last week and I would like to update you on that here. 

First, according to the information at hand now, we haven't received any report of the casualties of Chinese citizens. 

Second, the Chinese government has urgently provided much-needed humanitarian aids and supplies to the Laos, including charge boats, tents and water clarifiers, which are very useful in disaster relief operations. 

Third, the Chinese enterprises and communities in the Laos and the Chinese non-governmental rescue teams have also assisted in the disaster relief efforts there. 

　　中方将视老方需要继续提供力所能及的支持，帮助灾区人民克服困难、重建家园。 

　　老挝政府和人民感谢中方迅速有效施援，表示“危难时刻见真情，中国是老挝真正的朋友”，老方将用好中方救援物资，帮助灾区人民早日恢复正常生产生活。 

　　问：美国国务卿蓬佩奥警告称，国际货币基金组织（IMF）向巴基斯坦提供的救助资金不应用于向中方偿还债务。中方对此有何评论？ 

　　答：我想IMF同有关国家开展合作时有自己的标准和规则。相信他们会妥善处理。 

China will continue to provide its utmost support to the Laos if necessary and help people in the disaster-stricken area to get through difficulties and rebuild their homeland. 

The Lao government and people have thanked China for the responsive and effective assistance they received. They said "a friend in need is a friend indeed, and China is a true friend for the Laos". The Laos will make full use of China's relief supplies to help the people in the flood-hit area to return to normal production and life at an early date. 

Q: US Secretary of State Pompeo has warned that the bailout funds provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Pakistan should not be used to repay loans that Pakistan got from China. Do you have any comment on that?

A: I think that the IMF has its own standards and rules when cooperating with relevant countries. We believe that they will handle it in an appropriate manner.
