BEIJING -- A South Korean fishing ship sank off the coast of Angola earlier this week after colliding with a Greek oil tanker, leaving three Chinese crew members missing, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
In a statement on its Website, the ministry said a total of 27 crew members were aboard the doomed vessel and three Chinese fisherman remain unaccounted for. The remainder were rescued, it added.
The Chinese government has called on Angola and neighboring nations to continue search operations and conduct an investigation into the exact cause of the Thursday accident, according to the statement.
