On Monday, China’s foreign ministry called for an “objective, fair and professional” probe into damage to the Baltic connector gas pipeline, adding that a Chinese vessel was sailing “normally” in the relevant waters.
China and Finland have begun communication over the issue, and Beijing expects that relevant parties can discover the truth as soon as possible, ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told a regular press briefing.
A probe into the pipeline damage is currently focused on the part of the Chinese New Polar Bear container vessel, Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) said on Friday.
