In response to media inquiries regarding the suicide bombing near a court in Pakistan's capital Islamabad on Tuesday that killed at least 12 people and injured many, for which the Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed responsibility, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun stated on Wednesday that China strongly condemns the attack.
"We deeply mourn the lives lost, and extend sincere sympathies to the bereaved families and the injured," Guo said.
"We've learned that there were no Chinese casualties so far. China firmly opposes all forms of terrorism and will continue to support Pakistan in fighting terrorism, maintaining social stability and keeping its people safe," the spokesperson said.
Pakistan News outlet Dawn reported on Wednesday that the bombing was the first such attack in the capital in nearly three years. According to local police, a lone bomber blew himself up at the main entrance to the judicial complex, located in the G-11 sector, after failing in repeated attempts to enter the premises, where hundreds of litigants and lawyers were present.
In the wake of the attack, senior Pakistani officials swiftly responded. Foreign minister and deputy prime minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar on Wednesday said that cowardly acts of terrorism would never weaken Pakistan's resolve to deal with this menace, in remarks he made while addressing the two-day Inter-Parliamentary Speakers' Conference being held in Islamabad, where he mentioned the suicide blast in the federal capital and the attack on the Cadet College in Wana, Dawn reported.
Extending condolences to the victims' families, Dar reiterated that Pakistan "categorically rejects acts of terrorism in all forms and manifestations, whether these take place in Islamabad or anywhere in the world," according to the report.
