Wang Wenbin, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, commented on Wednesday during a regular news briefing on the very vile Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Karachi, Pakistan. The spokesperson said that China would cooperate with Pakistan to catch the perpetrators, bring them to justice and make them pay a heavy price for what they have done.
The comments came following the terrorist attack conducted in Pakistan on Tuesday on a van of the Confucius Institute at the University of Karachi. “We once again extend deep condolences to the victims of the two countries and sincere sympathies to the injured and the bereaved families,” said the spokesperson.
The Chinese official described the events as a premeditated suicide terrorist attack against Chinese people in the country. It is estimated that the terrorists targeted teachers, which represents a very vile and a heinous act, to what he added that China’s government condemns the happening.
Wang emphasized how the Chinese government has always guaranteed great importance to the security of Chinese citizens and institutions overseas, adding that after the attack, the Chinese Foreign Ministry and diplomatic missions in Pakistan immediately activated the emergency response mechanism and sent qualified personnel to the scene.
