In response to media enquiries concerning a Hong Kong resident being stranded in Jeju, Korea, upon receipt of assistance request from subject concerned, the Hong Kong Immigration Department (ImmD) has immediately contacted the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (OCMFA), the Consulate General of the People’s Republic of China in Jeju (Consulate General) to understand the situation and provide practicable advice and assistance according to subject’s wishes.
The Consulate General has actively deployed staff to meet subject and coordinated the local Chinese volunteers to provide subject with practicable assistance, including accompanying subject to relevant Korean authorities to understand the case development and request for expediting the case progress.
