(Adnkronos) – The Chinese Foreign Ministry has condemned the explosive attack on the Beijing consulate in Mandalay, Myanmar’s second city, calling it “deeply shocked.” In a statement, the ministry said it had asked Burmese authorities to ‘seriously investigate the attack’ and to ‘make every effort to arrest the perpetrators.’ The Chinese ministry then clarified that ‘there were no casualties’ in the attack.
