On July 14, an attack on a bus in northern Pakistan had killed nine Chinese nationals while on Friday last, a motorcade carrying Chinese workers was attacked by a suicide bomber in Gwadar.
On Tuesday, Zhao urged Pakistan to find out the causes of the incidents, strike down the terrorist forces in accordance with the law, re-examine the security loopholes and evaluate the potential risks.
Zhao said China and Pakistan should cooperate to enhance the protection mechanism and ensure all the Chinese nationals and projects are safe in Pakistan, adding that China is willing to enhance anti-terrorism cooperation with Pakistan and keep a close communication and coordination on the situation in Afghanistan to play a constructive role in safeguarding regional and national security and stability.
Moeed Yusuf said that Pakistan and China are iron-clad brothers and Islamabad attaches great importance to concerns from China and will make all efforts in holding the criminals of the Dasu terror attack accountable.
During the call, the two leaders discussed regional peace and security as well as other matters of mutual interest. Both sides resolved to remain closely engaged over the evolving situation in the region and reiterated the importance of a peaceful political settlement and all-inclusive setup in Afghanistan.
The two leaders resolved that the Pakistan-China friendship cannot be undermined by other countries who try to target their bilateral interests.
Yusuf added that the perpetrators of terrorist attacks on Chinese nationals working in Pakistan will be brought to justice.
Both sides agreed that the Afghan soil should not be allowed to be used against other countries by terrorists.
They expressed satisfaction over the excellent bilateral relations between the two countries.
Zhao said that as soon as the Covid-19 situation is improved, he will visit Pakistan and meet Yusuf.
PTI spokespersons yeasterday on Pakistan and Indian chennals expressed clearly that their government is banking on TTP to help them get Kashmir. The news clips are viral world over on YouTube. This clearly suggests that Pakistan is in NO MOOD to act against Dasu/ Baluchistan culprits. That’s why Chinkys are worried and issuing media statements. These statements also exposes Pakistan’s lies that Kashmir movement (if any) in J&K is indigenous. 😜
