In a statement released by the Foreign Office, Pakistan expressed deep concern over the breach of security at its consulate, which endangered the lives of its diplomatic staff. The attack is seen as a serious violation of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963, which mandates the host government to protect consular premises and ensure the safety of diplomats.
