BEIJING - Vice-Foreign Minister Xie Hangsheng on Tuesday called on Sudan to help free 29 Chinese workers who are being held by local rebels following a weekend attack on a camp belonging to a Chinese company.
Xie summoned Sudan's charge d'affaires in Beijing and lodged urgent representations to the African nation over the incident.
The rebels clashed with the Sudanese military in the offensive on Saturday, and have been holding 29 Chinese workers since.
