Pakistan bars movement of Chinese nationals without armoured vehicles

Hindustan Times  

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has prohibited Chinese nationals from traveling within the province unless they are accompanied by armored vehicles, a senior police official stated on Wednesday. Speaking to Dawn News, Hazara range deputy inspector general of police Tahir Ayub Khan said, “As we’re adopting all possible measures for the safety of Chinese nationals, they shouldn’t travel in the province without armoured vehicles in line with the government’s directions.” These measures were announced after a suicide bomber targeted a convoy of Chinese engineers, on March 26 this year, who were engaged in a dam project in northwest Pakistan. Prior attacks had aimed at a Pakistan naval air base and a strategic port crucial for Chinese investments in the southwest province of Balochistan, underscoring growing security concerns for Chinese projects in the region. As reported by Dunya News, several Chinese nationals were restricted to move only within their hotels amid the rising security concerns.
