China has notified all relevant countries in advance and is willing to maintain communication and cooperation, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said.
China provided information and documents for the joint investigation into the two fallen Baltic Sea cables and invited Germany, Sweden, Finland and Denmark to participate and complete the investigation. This is what the representative of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, said, Reuters reports.
He was commenting on reports that Sweden criticized China for refusing to grant full access despite an open investigation, and for not allowing its state prosecutor to board the suspected Yi Peng 3 ship.
The Chinese cargo ship is on the move again after more than a month stranded in Danish waters, the Swedish coast guard said on Saturday.
Last week, China allowed representatives from Germany, Sweden, Finland and Denmark to board the ship to investigate.
He added that China has notified all relevant countries in advance and is willing to maintain communication and cooperation.
As it is known, Yi Peng 3 came under investigation after two fiber optic cables were cut in November. One of them is connected to Finland and Germany, and the other – Sweden and Lithuania. This has raised suspicions of sabotage and concerns about the security of critical infrastructure.
