Two traders from Mumbai who were trapped in a hotel near Yiwu in China are being moved to safety, said External Affairs Minister SM Krishna this evening. The traders have been escorted by officers from the Indian consulate to Shanghai. Earlier in the day, as tension escalated, China's ambassador to Delhi Zhang Yan met with Mr Krishna. He reportedly promised that assistance would be provided to Indian diplomats in their efforts to rescue the traders - Deepak Raheja and Shyam Sunder Agarwal.
