Caracas, 21 Mar The Government of Venezuela expressed its regret to China on Monday over the fall of a Boeing 737-800 from Eastern China that traveled between the cities of Kunming (southwest) and Canton (southeast) and in which 132 people were traveling. “Venezuela extends its heartfelt words of condolences to the beloved people and Government of the People's Republic of China, following the tragic plane crash that occurred on March 21, 2022 (...) with a regrettable result of numerous losses of human life,” said the Caribbean country's Foreign Ministry in a statement released on Twitter. He also expressed his regret and solidarity to the families of the victims and encouraged those who carry out rescue tasks in these “tragic circumstances”. “Venezuela reiterates the sincere relationship of brotherhood, friendship and solidarity that unites it with the People's Republic of China, which with strength and integrity are facing this unfortunate catastrophe that mourns the Chinese people,” he added. A China Eastern Boeing 737-800 traveling between the Chinese cities of Kunming (southwest) and Guangzhou (southeast) crashed today with 132 people on board, Chinese state-owned CCTV reported. Flight MU5735, which had taken off at 13.15 local time (5.15 GMT), fell ashore in the Guangxi region (south). Rescue teams headed to the scene to try to find survivors, added the state chain, according to which the accident caused a wildfire in Teng County of Wuzhou City, Guangxi. Boeing regretted the accident on Monday and claimed to be supporting the airline China Eastern, which operated it, and said it was prepared to assist the Chinese authorities in the investigation. “Our thoughts are with the passengers and crew of China Eastern flight MU 5735,” a spokesman for the US manufacturer told Efe hours after the aircraft crashed with 132 passengers in Guangxi province for reasons as yet unknown. Boeing is “working with the airline,” remaining “in touch” with the US National Transportation Safety Council and has a team of technical experts “ready to assist in the investigation” from the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration, he added.
