China send inter-agency group to handle terrorist attack in Pakistan

China has sent an inter-agency working group to Pakistan to handle the aftermath of a recent terrorist attack against a convoy of the Chinese-built Coal-fired Power Plant at Port Qasim.

The working group arrived in Islamabad on Tuesday, and then immediately joined the Chinese embassy in Pakistan and the company concerned in the emergency response, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Friday.

The working group met intensively with heads of Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior, and military, police and intelligence departments, the spokesperson said in a statement.

The group asked the Pakistani side to properly handle ensuing matters; make every effort to save the injured; conduct thorough investigations; bring all the perpetrators to justice; and step up security measures to ensure the safety and security of Chinese personnel, institutions and projects in Pakistan.

The Pakistani side is investigating the incident and nailing down the perpetrators.

While in Pakistan, the working group also mourned the Chinese victims, and visited the injured in the hospital and the company's employees at the project camp.

The terrorist attack on Sunday night near the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi has killed two Chinese nationals, injured another and led to multiple casualties of Pakistani people.
