Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Lu Kang's Regular Press Conference on April 23, 2018
问：我们从外交部网站获悉，昨天夜里在朝鲜发生一起重大交通事故，造成重大人员伤亡。你能否介绍情况及事故原因？中国政府为此做了哪些工作？朝方做了哪些工作？
答：昨天夜里，在朝鲜黄海北道发生的重大交通事故，已导致32名中国公民和4名朝鲜工作人员遇难，2名中国公民受重伤，目前情况极其危重。我们谨对不幸遇难的中国同胞和朝鲜人员表示沉痛哀悼，向伤者和遇难者家属表示诚挚慰问。
Q: The Foreign Ministry website said in a press release that there was a serious traffic accident in the DPRK last night which has already caused heavy casualties. Can you give us more information, including the cause of the accident? what has been done on the part of the Chinese government as well as on the DPRK side?
A: Last night, a major traffic accident occurred in North Hwanghae Province of the DPRK. 32 Chinese nationals and four DPRK staff members were killed in the accident. An additional two Chinese citizens were in a critical condition due to serious injuries. We express our deep condolences to the deceased compatriots and the DPRK nationals and offer our heartfelt sympathies to the families of the deceased and the injured.
今天中午，外交部已派出工作组偕医疗专家紧急赴朝鲜，与朝方一道开展救治等相关工作。中国政府一贯高度重视海外中国公民的安全。事发后，外交部和中国驻朝鲜使馆第一时间启动应急机制，会同有关部门和地方，全力开展事故应急处置和善后工作。
朝鲜方面也高度重视这起重大交通事故，朝方各相关部门积极配合中方全力开展救治、善后和事故调查工作。我们将与朝方保持密切沟通和协调，全力做好后续工作。
问：我想确认一下朝鲜重大交通事故中的死亡人数。死亡的32人全部是中国公民吗？是否还包括朝鲜人？中方是否将组织遇难者家属赴朝鲜？死伤者来自哪些地区？
The Foreign Ministry has already dispatched a task force accompanied by medical experts to the DPRK this noon to work with the DPRK side on rescue operations, medical treatment and other matters. The Chinese government always attaches great importance to the safety of Chinese citizens overseas. The Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in the DPRK activated the emergency response mechanism at the earliest time possible upon learning about the accident and have been working with the relevant departments and local authorities to deal with the emergencies and make follow-up arrangements.
The DPRK side also takes this case very seriously. Its relevant departments are coordinating closely with the Chinese side in rescuing and treating the affected, in arranging for the follow-up matters, and in investigating the cause. China will remain in close communication and coordination with the DPRK to do whatever needs to be done in the next step.
Q: Can you confirm whether the death toll was 32? Were they all Chinese or does that also include DPRK nationals? Is the Chinese government helping to arrange the relatives of those who died to the DPRK? Do you know where in China they came from?
