Chinese Embassy Condemns Pakistan Attack, Demands Investigation and Security Measures
The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan has strongly condemned the recent terror attack on a convoy carrying 23 Chinese engineers in Balochistan. China has demanded that Pakistan take effective measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again. The embassy also called for a thorough investigation into the attack and urged Pakistan to severely punish the perpetrators.
In a press release, the Chinese Embassy stated, The Chinese Embassy in Pakistan strongly condemns this terrorist act. The Embassy and the Consulate General in Karachi launched an emergency response immediately, requesting the Pakistani authorities to conduct a thorough investigation on the attack, severely punish the perpetrators, and take practical and effective measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
The Chinese Embassy has also issued a warning to its citizens in Pakistan, urging them to be vigilant and take preventive measures against security risks. They have emphasized the importance of ensuring the safety of their lives and property.
Fortunately, the attack caused no casualties on the Chinese side, and the relevant personnel have been safely placed. The press release reiterated China’s commitment to working with Pakistan to counter the threats of terrorism and protect the safety of Chinese personnel, institutions, and projects in the country.
The attack took place in Gwadar, Balochistan, near the Gwadar police station. A convoy of Chinese engineers was passing by when an IED blast occurred, causing damage to one of the vans in the convoy.
In light of the increasing terrorism incidents in Pakistan, the Punjab Home Department has directed Chinese nationals living in the province or working with private companies to hire private security companies for their protection.
The Pakistani government has also decided to bear the security costs of non-CPEC projects after the tragic incident at Karachi university, which claimed the lives of several Chinese nationals.
It is crucial for Pakistan to address these security concerns and take necessary measures to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens and projects in the country. The Chinese Embassy’s demand for a thorough investigation is a step in the right direction to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent such incidents from recurring.
As China and Pakistan continue to collaborate on various projects, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), it is essential to prioritize the safety and security of Chinese personnel working in Pakistan. Both countries should work hand in hand to combat the threats of terrorism and protect the interests of both nations.
The international community also needs to stand united against terrorism, offering support and assistance to countries affected by such acts of violence. The recent attack on the Chinese convoy in Pakistan serves as a reminder that terrorism remains a global concern that requires collective efforts to eradicate.
In conclusion, the Chinese Embassy’s condemnation of the attack and demand for a thorough investigation sends a strong message that such acts of terrorism will not be tolerated. The safety of Chinese citizens and projects in Pakistan must be ensured, and effective security measures should be implemented to prevent future incidents. The international community should join forces to combat terrorism and promote peace and stability globally.
