The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines on Tuesday urged the Philippines to thoroughly investigate the case in which a Chinese national was kidnapped and killed, calling for the swift arrest and punishment of the perpetrators.
The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines recently received a report seeking assistance regarding a Chinese citizen who was kidnapped in the Philippines. The embassy immediately activated its emergency response mechanism and launched efforts to rescue the individual and actively assisted the family in reporting the incident to the Philippine National Police Anti-Kidnapping Group.
The embassy also cooperated with the Philippine police in law enforcement and called for the Philippines to promptly rescue the hostages and take concrete measures to ensure the safety and legitimate rights of Chinese citizens in the Philippines.
Unfortunately, the Chinese citizen was ultimately killed. It was reported that a Chinese-American was also killed, according to a statement from the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines.
