Opposition Leader Omar Ayub Khan calls for a Corps Commanders Conference to address security lapses concerning Chinese nationals in Pakistan, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures to protect foreign professionals and strengthen bilateral relations.
Opposition Leader in the National Assembly, Omar Ayub Khan, has urged Army Chief General Asim Munir to promptly organize a Corps Commanders Conference to address security lapses concerning Chinese nationals. The request comes in light of recent security incidents involving Chinese citizens in Pakistan.
Ayub Khan stressed the importance of enhancing security measures for Chinese citizens and professionals working in Pakistan. He highlighted the need for a dedicated conference focused solely on addressing these security concerns to ensure the safety and well-being of Chinese nationals in the country.
The Corps Commanders Conference, if organized, will bring together top military officials to strategize and implement enhanced security measures to protect Chinese nationals and strengthen bilateral relations between Pakistan and China.
China and Pakistan have a strong strategic partnership, with China being a major investor in various infrastructure projects in Pakistan under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The presence of Chinese nationals in Pakistan has increased significantly in recent years due to these projects, making their security a top priority for both countries.
Addressing security concerns for Chinese nationals is crucial for maintaining a positive relationship between Pakistan and China. By proactively addressing these issues through initiatives like the proposed Corps Commanders Conference, Pakistan can demonstrate its commitment to ensuring the safety and security of all foreign nationals within its borders.
