No Chinese nationals have been identified among those killed in the Paris terrorist attacks on Friday, the Chinese Embassy to France confirmed on Monday.

France has not completed identification of all bodies but so far no Chinese nationals have been identified, said Wu Xiaojun, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Paris.

Identification of some seriously injured victims is still underway and the embassy will keep a close eye on the situation.

A Chinese national was slightly injured in the attacks, the embassy said earlier. Embassy staff visited the young woman in hospital and reported that she was recovering after treatment. The embassy refused to disclose further details in accordance with her wishes.

Meanwhile, Air China said Monday there is no need to worry about fights between the two countries for Chinese in France who plan to return home.

All the airline's 10 flights between China and France are running normally despite the Paris attacks said Ding Qi, general manager of Air China in France and Belgium.
