Vietnamese police officers lauded for saving Chinese child from drowning

Police in Long An Province, southern Vietnam on Thursday commended two local police officers for their swift actions in rescuing a Chinese child from drowning in a swimming pool, thereby saving the child's life. The two officers were visiting a tourist area on the island as part of a political course. Employing their first aid training, the officers administered life-saving measures, stabilizing the child before transferring him to a medical facility for further treatment. The child, a Chinese tourist about 10 years old, had been dining with his family at a nearby restaurant and had entered the pool unaccompanied, resulting in the near-tragic incident.
