"We support Pakistan to promote relevant actions and safeguard domestic security and stability. We hope and believe Pakistan will continue to take measures to safeguard the security of the Chinese institutions and personnel in Pakistan," he said.
Chen later died in hospital.
Geng said Chinese diplomats in Karachi visited the hospital and urged Pakistani police solve the case as soon as possible and bring the criminals to justice.
