On Thursday, Pakistan reiterated its commitment to ensuring the safety of Chinese nationals and projects within its borders, amid a series of attacks targeting Chinese citizens. Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch firmly rejected reports that China was pressuring for joint security measures.
These comments follow a recent incident on November 5, where two Chinese nationals were injured in Karachi. Baloch highlighted the robust dialogue between Pakistan and China, emphasizing their strategic partnership and cooperation in counterterrorism, while urging Afghan authorities to curb terrorism.
The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has seen significant investment, with thousands of Chinese personnel engaged in projects across the country. The November attack was the third incident in Karachi this year involving foreign nationals, pointing to ongoing security concerns.
