China Pressures Pakistan for Security of Thousands of Nationals After Karachi Car Bombing That Killed Two Engineers

Nov 14, 2024, 12:37 PM

Beijing is urging Pakistan to permit Chinese security personnel to safeguard thousands of Chinese nationals working in the country. This request follows a car bombing in Karachi, which has been characterized as a significant security breach. Reports indicate that China has presented evidence suggesting that Pakistan did not adhere to previously agreed-upon security protocols. The situation is further complicated by recent violence, including a bomb attack attributed to Pakistani separatists that resulted in the deaths of two Chinese engineers last month. Despite these challenges, Pakistan maintains its commitment to collaborate with China to ensure the safety of its projects in the region.
