Pakistan will deploy 10,000 army personnel, including commandoes with anti-terrorism training, for the protection of Chinese citizens working in the country, President Mamnoon Hussain said on Tuesday.
Chinese President Xi Jinping raised the issue of security for the Chinese nationals working in Pakistan during a one-on-one meeting with Hussain.
Responding to Xi’s query, Hussain said Pakistan has created a special security division for the protection of Chinese engineers, project directors, experts and workers employed on various Chinese funded projects across the country.
