BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokesman Liu Jianchao said here Thursday that Chinese oil workers in Sudan are
safe.
Liu made the remarks at a regular press conference in response to reports that a China-related oil field in Sudan
were attacked by terrorists.

involved the Chinese oil companies and workers, and China is highly concerned
about the situation there.
"We hope relevant sides could ceasefire immediately
and solve the Darfur issue as soon as possible through peaceful negotiations."

China hopes the Sudanese government could attach
importance to the concern of China, and take effective measures to ensure the
safety of the Chinese workers, Liu added.
