China on Monday said it was "deeply shocked" by the killing of two Chinese nationals in a suicide attack in Karachi and "demanded” Pakistan to effectively close the security loopholes and take targeted measures to provide full protection for its workers engaged in the CPEC projects.
Two Chinese nationals were killed and 17 people, including one Chinese worker, injured in the suicide attack by a Baloch insurgent group late Sunday night that targeted a convoy of Chinese workers near the Jinnah International Airport in Karachi.
"China is deeply shocked by the attack against Chinese citizens and strongly condemns this terrorist act," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement late Monday evening.
