China News Agency, Guangzhou, May 22. On May 22, Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal, who was on an official visit to China, and Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi jointly met the press after their talks.
When asked by a reporter what specific measures the Pakistani side will take to ensure the safety of Chinese citizens in Pakistan, Bilawal said that the Pakistani side once again strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Karachi and expressed deep condolences for the loss of Chinese citizens.
The Pakistani side will never tolerate attacks on Chinese friends and Pakistan-China relations.
Pakistan has suffered deeply from terrorism, damaged its country, suffered its families, and felt the catastrophic effects of terrorism.
Please rest assured the Chinese people and Chinese friends in Pakistan that Pakistan attaches great importance to the safety of Chinese citizens, institutions and projects in Pakistan. An attack on China is an attack on Pakistan.

The Pakistani side will make every effort to arrest and severely punish the perpetrators, and thwart all attempts to harm the common interests of Pakistan and China.
Bilawal emphasized that Prime Minister Shabazz has specially convened a meeting of various government departments to ensure the safety of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and all Chinese citizens in Pakistan.
The Pakistani side has strengthened security measures like never before, and has deployed two Pakistani divisions to protect the security of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and other projects.
Pakistani law enforcement agencies maintain close coordination with the Chinese side on the security of Chinese citizens, institutions and projects in Pakistan.
The Pakistani side will never allow any evil attempt to undermine the Pakistan-China friendship to succeed.
