Khyber Pakhtunkhwa implements armored vehicle requirement for Chinese citizens

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government in Pakistan has introduced new security measures requiring Chinese citizens to travel in armored vehicles while in the region. A senior police official announced the decision during a meeting on May 1.

The meeting focused on security arrangements for the Suki Kinari hydropower project, brought together key stakeholders, including security personnel, Chinese engineers, and project managers. The discussions emphasized the importance of stringent security measures to protect those involved in critical infrastructure projects.

Deputy Inspector General of Police in Hazara range, Tahir Ayub Khan, highlighted that Chinese nationals should not travel in the province without armoured vehicles, in line with the government’s directives. This decision comes after a recent suicide attack on a convoy of Chinese engineers in Shangla district.

To further enhance security, residential colonies housing Chinese engineers and workers will have boundary walls of at least eight feet in height, potentially topped with barbed wire.

These measures aim to address heightened security concerns following the attack on Chinese engineers and prioritize the safety of foreign nationals. The KP government is taking proactive steps to mitigate risks and ensure a secure environment for critical infrastructure projects in the region.
