Premier Li Keqiang urged authorities in the Philippines on Wednesday to pay greater attention to resolving the case of eight Hong Kong tourists who were killed during a hostage crisis in Manila in 2010.
Li brought up the issue in a brief talk with Philippine President Benigno Aquino when they met in the VIP room during the East Asia Summit in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.
On Aug 23, 2010, a disgruntled former Filipino policeman hijacked a bus with a 21-member Hong Kong tour group onboard. The hijacking ended that night with eight tourists killed and another seven injured.
