A total of 4,600 Chinese nationals have been evacuated from Libya so far as of Thursday morning, China's Foreign Ministry said in a statement today.
More than 4,000 left the riot-torn north African state on today on two Greek ocean liners, which were chartered by the Chinese embassy in Greece, said the statement.
The "Hellenic Spirit" and "Olympic Champion" left Benghazi, Libya's eastern port and second-largest city, at 7 a.m. Beijing time (2300 GMT, Wednesday) and were expected to arrive at the port of Heraklion on the Greek island of Crete at about 8 p.m. Beijing time (1200 GMT).
