Three Chinese nationals were killed in Tajikistan, and Pakistan denounces their deaths.

Pakistan denounced Thursday a terrorist incident in Tajikistan close to the Afghan border that killed three Chinese people.

According to a statement from the Foreign Office, Pakistan offers its sincere condolences and unwavering solidarity to the governments and citizens of the People’s Republic of China and Tajikistan for the loss of Chinese nationals in a horrific terrorist attack in Tajikistan close to its Afghan border.

This barbaric attack on Chinese nationals is categorically condemned by Pakistan. The incident’s use of armed drones highlights the seriousness of the threat coming from Afghanistan and the cowardice of those responsible.

The people of Pakistan completely comprehend and share the sorrow and suffering of our Chinese friends and Tajik allies, since we are a neighbour that has experienced numerous terrorist acts that were planned from Afghan territory.

Pakistan has repeatedly emphasised that terrorism against its neighbours or any other nation cannot take place on Afghan territory. For the entire region and the larger international community, the frequent use of Afghan territory by terrorist groups and their ongoing existence under the support of the Afghan Taliban administration are grave concerns.

The only effective approach to combat this expanding threat is to take tangible, verifiable action against the terrorists, abettors, financiers, and facilitators of terrorist organisations operating from Afghan territory. In order to advance peace, stability, and security in our common neighbourhood, Pakistan will keep up its close collaboration with China, Tajikistan, and other regional allies.
