The Chinese military has completed the mission of evacuating Chinese from Sudan, a spokesperson for the Ministry of National Defense said Saturday.

A total of 940 Chinese citizens and 231 foreigners were carried by Chinese naval vessels out of Sudan to the Saudi Arabian port of Jeddah in two evacuation operations from Wednesday to Saturday, said Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Tan Kefei.

"The Chinese military is always the guardian of the people and a strong force to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests, and to serve the building of a community with a shared future for humanity," he added.
