Foreign office organised a memorial service on Saturday to pay respect and homage to three Chinese teachers killed in recent terrorist attack at Karachi University.
This was an expression that people of Pakistan feel the pain and shock of bereaved Chinese families and Chinese people over this incident.
This tragic incident anguished and shocked the entire Pakistani nation, which would always remember services of these and other Chinese workers who contributed or continue to play their role for progress and development of Pakistan.
The sentiments expressed both by Pakistani and Chinese side at the memorial service manifested once again that this ironclad friendship is unshakeable and unbreakable and nobody can come in between this relationship.
Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stated that enemies of Pakistan-China would not be forgiven, adding nobody will be allowed to harm this relationship.
Chinese Charge d’Affaires Pang Chunxue said that any attempt to undermine the two countries’ mutual cooperation and trust and on-going CPEC project is doomed to fail.
These remarks definitely would disappoint those who are always out and plot to hurt this time-tested friendship and sabotage the multi billion dollars corridor project.
It is a matter of satisfaction that leadership of both the countries is fully cognizant of nefarious designs of the enemies and committed to foil them through collective efforts.
Those behind Karachi University attack must be nabbed at the earliest and given exemplary punishment in order to send a loud and clear message that such sort of attacks on our friends and guests will not be tolerated.
At the same time, current security arrangements put in place for safety and security of Chinese workers and investors should be revisited, making them foolproof in real and practical sense.
On security arrangements, the Chinese side should also be taken on board.
Simultaneously, pace of work on various development projects being executed under the CPEC should be accelerated, removing all obstacles and hurdles coming in their way.
We believe their early completion will be a big slap on face of the enemy.
Undoubtedly relationship between Pakistan and China is deeply rooted in the hearts of our two peoples and has grown from strength to strength regardless of changes on global and regional landscape.
Efforts should be made to further strengthen these bonds of friendship through increased people to people contacts at different levels.
Enhanced exchanges will also help identify more areas of cooperation.
