In response to media queries on the situation in Urumqi, the MFA Spokesman said that the Singapore Embassy in Beijing is monitoring the situation closely and has been in touch with Singaporeans who are known to us to be in Urumqi. The Embassy will continue to maintain contact with them.
We regret the outbreak of violence and loss of lives, and hope that law and order will be quickly restored in Xinjiang, China. We hope that all parties will exercise restraint and resolve their differences through dialogue.
