Pakistan on Monday extended full support to China against East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM), terming the recent attacks as deplorable, as China blamed Muslim separatists trained in Pakistan are behind the violence which left at least 20 people dead in the last two days in the western region of Xinjiang.
"Pakistan is fully confident that the patriotic people of Xinjiang autonomous region of the People's Republic of China and, in particular, Kashgar as well as the Chinese government, will succeed in frustrating evil designs of the terrorists, extremists and separatists, who constitute an evil force", said Foreign Office spokesperson Tehmina Janjua in response to a question concerning the incidents of violence in Kashgar. "All incidents of terrorism are deplorable", she added.
The spokesperson said that Pakistan will continue to extend its full co-operation and support to the Government of the People's Republic of China against the ETIM. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar while responding to a question during a joint news conference with Polish Foreign Minister here at the Foreign Office, regarding allegations that terrorists trained in some other countries were involved in terrorism inside China, said that Pakistan did not receive such allegation in writing. Kashgar, a Muslim Uighur populous in west of Xinjiang region, has always seen regular outbreaks of ethnic tension.
