Five Chinese workers were killed on Tuesday when a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle (kẻ đánh bom tự sát đâm vào chiếc xe) into their convoy in northern Pakistan, the latest in a string of terrorist attacks highlighting the security challenges Pakistan faces in protecting Chinese personnel.

The Chinese laborers were working on the Dasu dam, a hydropower project on the Indus River in the northwestern province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa. The convoy was moving to Dasu from Islamabad and came under attack around 1 p.m., officials said.

Over the past week, terrorist attacks (khủng bố tấn công) also struck a Pakistani military air base and a strategic port in the southwest of the country, where China has invested billions in infrastructure projects. The string of attacks has challenged the close economic and strategic ties between the two countries (quan hệ kinh tế và chiến lược giữa hai nước).

Tensions between the two countries have come to a head in recent months. In September, Pakistani officials announced a new policy aimed at deporting (chính sách mới nhằm trục xuất) the roughly 1.7 million Afghans living in the country illegally. Earlier this month, Pakistan also bombed Pakistani Taliban targets inside Afghanistan for the first time in nearly two years.

After visiting the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad on Tuesday, Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the minister for interior and narcotic control, said that the government would “deal with the elements involved in the attack with iron hands.”

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also visited the embassy and expressed condolences, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. The ministry condemned the attack and urged Pakistan to “thoroughly investigate the incident as soon as possible, hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice.”
