The Chinese Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday that 791 Chinese nationals have been evacuated from Iran as the conflict between Iran and Israel intensifies.
The evacuation effort, which has now expanded to include more than 1,000 citizens, is gathering momentum.
According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, Chinese embassies and consulates in neighboring countries such as Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan have deployed working groups to support Chinese nationals in reaching border ports.
