The statement issued by the United Nations Security Council condemning the attack on the University of Karachi in Pakistan reflects the international community's strong condemnation of this act of terrorism, as well as its sympathy and condolences to the civilians of China and Pakistan who were tragically killed, representing the common sentiment of all countries in the world, said Zhao Lijian, Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson. Zhao said that justice will not be absent, evil will be severely punished, and terrorism is the common enemy of all mankind, and combating terrorism is the responsibility of the international community. He said that international terrorism continues to pose a serious threat to the security of people and the social stability of all countries, and called for all parties to strengthen coordination and cooperation and take all measures to combat terrorism and jointly maintain world peace. The UN Security Council's members issued a press statement on Thursday condemning the attack at the University of Karachi in Pakistan, which led to the deaths of three Chinese nationals and one Pakistani, as well as several injuries. In a statement, the UN Security Council members extended their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and governments of China and Pakistan, and stressed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and urged the countries to cooperate with the Chinese and Pakistani governments on this matter.
