No force can damage our ties with Pakistan, says China

Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry says hostile foreign elements involved in attack on Chinese consulate

China and Pakistan reaffirmed their support for each other during an event in Islamabad on Monday held to collect donations for the two policemen martyred during the attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi.



Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry said that hostile foreign elements were involved in the terrorist attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi.

Deputy chief of mission at the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad Lijian Zhao said the efforts of all those trying to sabotage the friendship between Pakistan and China will go in vain.

Lijian said similar events to collect donations will be held in other cities including in China's Beijing.



Earlier on November 23, security forces had averted a terror attack on the Chinese consulate located in the upscale Clifton neighbourhood of Karachi.

Four people – including two police officials – were martyred before the three terrorists were taken down by security forces. The diplomatic staff inside the consulate remained unhurt in the attack.
