BEIJING  -- A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday that no foreign casualties have been reported after the strongest quake in China in three decades jolted the southwestern province of Sichuan on Monday.

"We have received no report of foreign casualties so far," spokesman Qin Gang told a regular press conference.

He said the ministry would promptly release such information to related embassies and consulates in China.
