China on Monday slammed the killing of three Chinese workers in
Pakistan, and put pressure on Pakistan to solve the attack soon and
to bring the criminals in for stiff punishment.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement Monday
evening that Chinese authorities were most concerned about the
attack, and had made urgent remonstrations to the Pakistani Embassy
in Beijing and the Pakistani government.
Qin's comments came after four Chinese nationals were attacked
by unknown assailants in the northwestern city of Peshawar on
Sunday. Three were killed with the fourth man severely wounded.
Qin’s statement read that China expected Pakistan to provide
medical treatment to the wounded man while helping repatriate the
bodies of the dead, as well as increasing measures to ensure the
safety and security of Chinese in Pakistan.
The spokesman also issued a call for all Chinese in Pakistan to
take extra precautions.
