Its New Ambassador ‘Might Be Attacked’ China Warns Pakistan


ISLAMABAD: China has apparently asked Pakistan to intensify the security of its newly-appointed ambassador in Islamabad in the wake of risks to his life from a terrorist organization.

In a notice that was leaked to the mass media on Sunday, the China Embassy has alleged a person in the terrorist network East Turkestan Islamic Movements has "sneaked into Pakistan" and poses a danger to Chinese Ambassador Yao Jing.

Interior Ministry and the China Embassy have dropped to touch upon the notice, neither refuting nor verifying its authenticity.

In the notice, the Chinese Embassy requested that Pakistan should increase the security provided to Chinese  ambassador and Chinese people living in Pakistan.


China has appointed Mr. Jing, who may have served as Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan, as its new envoy to Pakistan. Yao changed Sun Weidong, who offered as China's Ambassador to Pakistan for 3 years and recently went back to his country.

The letter bears the letterhead of the Chinese Embassy and the police officer, Peng Yunfei, the focal person for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

In the notice, Ping shared information on the terrorist's passport and demanded his immediate arrest and handover to the Chinese Embassy. It discovered the terrorist as Abdul Wali.

The ETIM mainly runs from China's restive Xinjiang region, bordering Pakistan.

The CPEC will hook up Xinjiang with Pakistan's seaport Gwadar by way of a network of rail, highway, and pipeline.

In June, the militant Islamic Point out group had stated that it got killed two Chinese nationals who had been abducted from Quetta in May. China has often urged Pakistan to boost security after pledging around $57 billion to make power plant life, railways, and streets that will mix the Himalayas to hook up traditional western China with Gwadar dock.

In July, two days and nights after an occurrence of firing on Chinese nationals in Ghotki, Sindh Home Minister Sohail Anwar Siyal possessed directed the authorities to ensure outstanding security for Chinese and other international nationals focusing on CPEC projects.
