The spokesperson of MFA China responded to the report by the Financial Times on China's refusal to allow the Swedish public prosecutor aboard the Yi Peng 3, which is suspected of severing two Baltic Sea cables right before it sailed away on Saturday. Response as follows: China has invited Germany, Sweden, Finland and Denmark to participate in and complete a joint fact investigation and has shared documents and information. To cooperate with the investigation, Yi Peng 3 has been anchored for a long time. For consideration of the crew members’ physical and mental health, the owner company decided to let the vessel resume its voyage after a comprehensive assessment and consultation with relevant parties. The Chinese side has notified relevant countries in advance. China stands ready to maintain communication with relevant countries and continue working together to handle the matters related to the incident afterwards.
