At the same time, after the accident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately activated the consular protection emergency mechanism, deployed the embassy in South Korea to verify the situation, and coordinated the South Korean side to do its best to do a good job in the treatment and assistance of Chinese citizens.
