On February 5, 2026, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi met with Chinese Ambassador Jiang Zaidong in Islamabad to discuss the security of Chinese nationals in Pakistan. According to Dawn, Naqvi emphasized that providing 'maximum security' to Chinese citizens was a 'top priority' for Pakistan. This meeting comes in the wake of recent terrorist attacks in Balochistan on January 31, which had temporarily paralyzed the province. The National Counter Terrorism Authority reported that from 2021 to December 2024, 20 Chinese nationals were killed and 34 injured in similar attacks. The meeting highlighted the importance of the Pakistan-China strategic partnership, with both parties expressing solidarity against terrorism.
