2015年CRI 河南鲁山养老院火灾已致38死6伤 中国和智利签署多项双边合作文件

 

At least 38 people are dead following a fire at a nursing home in Henan.

Six others are being treated in hospital for injuries. Two of them suffer serious injuries.

A fire broke out in the facility in Lushan County, which is in the Pingdingshan area, around 8 last night.

It took crews around an hour to knock down the deadly blaze.

Few other details have been made available.

The facility is home to around a hundred seniors.

It remains¹ unclear at this point what sparked the blaze.

China and Chile have signed a host of cooperation deals including a multi-billion US dollar currency swap² agreement, as part of Chinese Premier³ Li Keqiang's time in the country.

The deals cover such areas as politics, trade, finance, mining, agriculture, production capacity and science and technology.

The People's Bank of China has also entered into a 3-year currency swap agreement with Chile's central bank worth 22 billion yuan, or around 3.5 billion U.S. Dollars.

The two sides are also going to look at upgrading their decade-old free trade agreement.

Under the deals, a renminbi clearing bank is also being established in Chile, the first in South America.
