Has China lost trust in Pakistani Army? Report claims Beijing pushes Islamabad to induct Chinese officers
India TV NewsIslamabad: Beijing is pushing Pakistan to allow its own security staff to provide protection to thousands of Chinese citizens working in the South Asian nation, during talks after a car bombing in Karachi that was seen as a major security breach, sources said. A spokesman for China's foreign ministry told Reuters it was not familiar with talks on a joint security scheme, but added, "China will continue to strengthen co-operation with Pakistan and make joint efforts to do its utmost to maintain the security of Chinese personnel, projects and institutions." At one recent meeting, the Chinese side provided evidence that Pakistan had failed to follow security protocols agreed on twice in recent months, three officials said. Only China's embassy in Islamabad and its consulates are allowed Chinese official security personnel, the Pakistani officials said.
