The Chinese Ministry of Commerce is highly concerned over the
two Chinese workers kidnapped in Nigeria, the ministry's spokesman
Wang Xinpei said on Tuesday night.
The ministry asked the Nigerian side to immediately take
necessary measures to rescue the kidnapped workers, and take
concrete measures to protect Chinese citizens in Nigeria.
Wang also urged Chinese companies and citizens in Nigeria to pay
attention to their own safety and take precautions.
The Foreign Ministry confirmed earlier on Tuesday that two
workers from a Chinese company had been abducted on Saturday in the
southern Nigerian state of Anambra by unidentified kidnappers
carrying weapons.
