The Chinese foreign ministry has confirmed and strongly condemned the attack on its consulate in Karachi, Pakistan on Friday, official news agency Xinhua reported.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Twitter that the attack was "clearly a reaction to the unprecedented trade agreements" his country recently signed with China. "The attack was intended to scare Chinese investors and undermine CPEC," he wrote, referring to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.
