Pakistan has announced plans to establish a dedicated security force to safeguard foreigners in the country. This decision follows recent militant attacks targeting foreign nationals in various regions of Pakistan.
The decision was made during a meeting chaired by Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi to assess the law-and-order situation in the federal capital territory. The move comes in response to a suicide attack on a van carrying Japanese nationals in Karachi, prompting heightened concerns over the safety of foreign residents.
Interior Minister Naqvi instructed authorities to ensure comprehensive security measures for foreign nationals in Islamabad, with particular emphasis on vital offices and areas, including the red zone.
During the meeting, Islamabad's police chief, Ali Nasir Rizvi, provided a detailed overview of the law-and-order situation in the capital city.
Pakistan has experienced a series of militant assaults on foreign nationals in recent months, notably targeting Chinese workers involved in projects linked to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). These attacks include a suicide bombing that claimed the lives of five Chinese nationals and their Pakistani driver near Dasu Dam in northwest Pakistan.
Additionally, security forces thwarted an attack by Balochistan Liberation Army separatists on a convoy transporting Chinese citizens outside the Gwadar port, a key Chinese-funded project site in southwestern Balochistan province.
