Attack on Pakistani consulate in Frankfurt condemned by FO

  • Foreign Office says attack was carried out by a 'gang of extremists' that put staff lives at risk
Published July 21, 2024

The Foreign Office (FO) Sunday strongly condemned an attack that took place at the Pakistani consulate in Frankfurt a day earlier and blamed German authorities for failing to protect its premises.

A group of Afghan citizens staged a protest outside the Pakistani Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany, with some attempting to force their way into the building, reported Aaj News.

In a statement to the media, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the attack was carried out by a “gang of extremists,” adding that the security of Pakistan’s consulate in Frankfurt had been breached, putting staff lives at risk.

“Under the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963 it is the responsibility of the host government to protect the sanctity of the consular premises and ensure the security of diplomats,” the statement said.

“We are conveying our strong protest to the German government.”

Pakistan also urged the German authorities to take immediate measures to arrest and prosecute those involved in yesterday’s incident and hold to account those responsible for the lapses in security.

Bad. This should not happen anywhere. Will the Foreign Office like to tell what action is taken by GoP when extreme incidents of torture take place in the presence of Police in Pakistan?

A total embarrassement for a European country like Germany! Will Germany offer such level of security to Israeli diplomatic mission?
