| 2016-09-02 |
| [RFE/RL] The Chinese Embassy in Bishkek has suspended the issuance of visas to Kyrgyz citizens after a terrorist attack against the embassy compound. Kyrgyzstan's Foreign Ministry said that Kyrgyz citizens who applied for Chinese visas might receive their passports with or without Chinese visas back at the ministry's office. Kyrgyz officials have said that a suicide car bomber rammed the gates of the Chinese Embassy compound in Bishkek on August 30 before detonating a bomb inside the car, killing himself and wounding three Kyrgyz employees of the embassy. Officials in both countries have called the incident a terrorist attack. China's Foreign Ministry said that Beijing "will work with Kyrgyzstan to quickly obtain concrete information on the people and groups" behind the bombing. |
