China is "greatly shocked by" and "condemns the brutal attack in the strongest possible terms," Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Hong Lei told a media briefing here.
He also expressed condolences for the victims and their families.
"We are standing together with Pakistani people at such a hard time. China will provide firm support for the Pakistani government and people to fight terrorism and maintain the country's stability and safety," Hong said, a day after 72 people were killed in a suicide bomb attack at an Easter gathering in Lahore.
