BEIJING -- China Thursday congratulated Chile on its successful rescue of 33 miners trapped underground for more than two months.
The miners' ordeal began on August 5 when a huge rockfall blocked the mine exit.
"We congratulate the rescuers and wish all the miners a speedy recovery," Ma said.
Ma noted that China-made machinery and equipment was used in the rescue and that some Chinese companies even sent staff to Chile to help in the rescue operations.
"We are happy China played a part in the rescue," Ma said.
