HÀ NỘI – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday said that nine persons carrying Vietnamese identification papers are among 11 victims killed during a severe road accident in Jingxi city, China's Guangxi, at 6:30am on May 19, citing reports from the Consulate General of Việt Nam in China’s Nanning city.
