BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- China is willing to provide assistance to India in searching for two missing Indian Air Force pilots, said a Foreign Ministry spokesman on Friday.
It is reported that the wreckage of the fighter jet that went missing on May 23 was found in the forest near the China-India border.
Spokesman Lu Kang told a regular press conference that he had no further information to hand with regard to the incident and China had not received any request from India for assistance in the search.
Out of humanitarian considerations, China is willing to assist India in the search efforts at the request of the Indian side, said Lu.
