ROME, DEC 29 - China has decided to let 13 Italian
sailors disembark after being blocked for two months aboard two
ships in the port of Huanghua, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio
announced Tuesday.
Di Maio informed 13 Campanian mayors of the towns where the
sailors are from of the Chinese decision.
They had asked him to intervene to let the sailors off the
ships. I intervened personally with a letter to my Chinese counterpart
(Wang Yi), highlighting the humanitarian aspects of the affair
and requesting a prompt solution to it, said Di Maio.
