Pakistan's foreign minister strongly condemned the outrageous terrorist act of killing three Chinese teachers in Karachi and vowed to bring the criminals to justice at a memorial service held by Foreign Affairs of Pakistan Saturday.

Addressing the memorial service, the Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said Chinese teachers who teach Chinese in Pakistan bridge the communication and make contributions in deepening the friendship of the people from the two countries. Their unfortunate death of a terrorist attack is a loss for Pakistan and China.

Zardari said that Pakistan will never allow any force to undermine the all-weather strategic partnership of cooperation between China and Pakistan and the "ironclad" friendship between the two countries, and will do whatever it takes to arrest the perpetrators.

During the event, videos were played in memory of the three deceased teachers. Participants lined up to lay flowers on the portraits of the the teachers.

The Confucius Institute that the two teachers worked at is a window to promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. The three decreased teachers are China-Pakistan cultural ambassadors who devote every energy and love for mutual understanding and friendship of the two countries, Pang Chunxue, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, said at the event.

Justice will come sooner or later and the evil people will definitely get punished. The blood of the Chinese people will not be shed in vain, Pang said.

Pang said that China will work with Pakistan to thoroughly investigate the case, bringing the perpetrators to justice, and will also comprehensively strengthen security measures for Chinese citizens, projects and institutions in Pakistan to prevent such incidents from happening again.

China-Pakistan friendship is unbreakable, and any attempt to undermine the mutual trust and cooperation between the two countries and the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is doomed to fail, Pang said.
