China strongly condemns attacks in Pakistan, says Chinese foreign ministry

BEIJING (Reuters) - China strongly condemns the attacks in Pakistan and will continue to give strong support to the country in anti-terrorism action, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry said on Tuesday at a regular press briefing.

The attacks in Pakistan were the most widespread in years by ethnic militants fighting a decades-long insurgency to win secession of a resource-rich southwestern province, home to major China-led projects such as a port and a gold and copper mine.
