Chinese police has tightened anti-terror security measures to ensure the safety of the impending World Trade Organization Informal Ministerial Meeting to be held Tuesday in China's northeastern port city of Dalian after a series of bomb attacks in London that killed about 50 people and injured 700 others.
"We won't let what happened in London reoccur in Dalian", said Chen Xibin, deputy director of Dalian City Public Security Bureau.
Chen, who is in charge of security of the meeting, told Xinhua Monday that with the arrival of Canadian trade minister James Peterson in Dalian last Friday, local police has always on the alert.
Stress of security will be placed on preventing terrorist attacks, natural disasters and unexpected incidents, he said.
"Dalian police has launched a thorough check-up on explosives and dangerous goods and increased patrol frequency after London blasts", Chen added.
The two-day meeting is scheduled to start on Tuesday, which will take stock of the Doha Development Agenda negotiations and discuss the progress of the "First Approximations" of the Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration, the key signpost in the lead-up to the WTO Sixth Ministerial Conference to be held in Hong Kong in December.
