Abduction of Indian traders in China an isolated incident, says Vayalar Ravi

New Delhi, Thu, 05 Jan 2012 ANI

New Delhi, Jan 5 (ANI): Asserting that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has issued an advisory to Indian traders urging them to be vigilant, Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi on Thursday said the abduction of two traders in Yiwu city in China was an isolated incident.

 

Listing the initiatives taken by the government to ensure the release of the two traders, Ravi said: "They say it happened because of some dispute and so the government of India has taken it with the Ambassador. What I am told by the MEA that they summoned these offices and told them and shown the protest. But the government also feels that this is an isolated incident."

 

"Why do you want to flare it up? Let us see that these things cannot be repeated. So, we will give the advisory to our traders to be very careful," he added.

 

Chinese Ambassador to India, Zhang Yan, who met External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna here on Wednesday evening, assured the latter that Beijing was paying serious attention to the release of the two traders.

 

Krishna had on his part expressed satisfaction with the criminal proceedings initiated by China against five locals suspected to be responsible for the torture of two Indian businessmen, and said that the issue should not be blown out of proportion as it may impact the good relations between the two countries.

 

The two Indian traders Deepak Raheja and Shyam Sunder Agarwal were trapped in a hotel in Yiwu city, a trading hub near Shanghai, after some locals alleged that the firm they worked with and whose owner is absconding owed them millions of dollars. (ANI)
