In a swift move, China has dispatched an inter-agency working group to Pakistan after a tragic attack on Chinese workers at the coal-fired power plant in Port Qasim on October 6. The incident resulted in the loss and injury of Chinese personnel, prompting immediate action from Beijing.
Upon arriving in Islamabad on October 8, the team joined forces with the Chinese Embassy and the concerned company to tackle the emergency head-on. 💪 They held intensive meetings with key figures from Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Interior, and various military and intelligence departments.
\"We've urged our friends in Pakistan to handle the aftermath properly, spare no effort in treating the injured, thoroughly investigate the incident, bring the culprits to justice, and beef up security measures to protect Chinese nationals and projects,\" said a spokesperson from China's Foreign Ministry.
Pakistan has strongly condemned the attack, labeling it an act of terrorism. They're on it, fully committed to investigating the incident, hunting down those responsible, and ramping up security to safeguard China's interests in their country. 🛡️
During their stay, the Chinese working group mourned the victims, visited the injured at the hospital, and checked in on employees at the project site. It's a gesture of solidarity and a reaffirmation of the strong bond between the two nations. 🤝
This incident underscores the importance of safety for international cooperation projects and highlights the lengths countries will go to protect their people abroad.
