China willing to provide necessary information on Baltic Sea pipeline probe

BEIJING (Reuters) – China is willing to provide necessary information in accordance with international law regarding an investigation on damage to a Baltic Sea gas pipeline, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday at a regular press briefing.

The damage earlier this month is believed to have been caused by a ship dragging a large anchor along the seabed, but it was too early to tell if this was an accident or a deliberate act, Finnish police said on Tuesday.

The authorities were investigating whether it belonged to a Chinese container vessel.
