Pakistan today strongly condemned the suicide car bomb attack at the Chinese embassy in Kyrgyzstan as a "cowardly terrorist" attack.
Foreign Office (FO) said in a statement that "Pakistan condemns in strongest terms, the cowardly terrorist attack."
"We stand in solidarity with People's Republic of China at this difficult time...We express our solidarity with (them)," it said.
It also expressed sympathies for the Kyrgyz republic whose nationals were injured in the brutal terrorist attack.
At least three people were today injured after a van driven by a suicide bomber exploded after ramming through a gate at the Chinese embassy in Kyrgyzstan - the first-of-its- kind attack on a Chinese diplomatic mission.
China's foreign ministry has condemned the attack as an "extreme and violent act" but refused to classify it as terrorism.
