Coordination between Karachi-based diplomats and law enforcement agencies enhanced to improve security of consulates.

KARACHI: The Sindh government is thinking of establishing a diplomatic enclave like the one in Islamabad, said Governor Sindh Dr. Ishrat ul Ebad, during a meeting with diplomats at Governor House on Friday.

The meeting was held in the wake of the recent attack on Saudi Consulate and the assassination of a Saudi diplomat.

The governor assured that coordination between Karachi-based diplomats and law enforcement agencies was being enhanced to improve security of consulates to thwart any untoward incident.

Regarding the Saudi official’s murder, he said that some suspects have been arrested and police will soon find the culprits.

He also requested diplomats to attract investment in Pakistan.
