A Chinese national was shot dead in a suspected targeted attack in Karachi’s Defence locality by an unknown assailant on Monday. The man was identified as Chen Zhu, 45. “We strongly condemn the extremist and violent action against Chinese citizens and will continue to closely monitor the progress of the case and provide active assistance to the families of the victims in dealing with the aftermath," said Spokesperson Geng Shuang of the Chinese Foreign Ministry at a regular news briefing.
The spokesperson added that the Chinese consulate general has demanded the police to their "utmost to solve the case and bring the murderers to justice as soon as possible".
