New Zealand PM condemns Brussels terrorist attacks

Xinhua, March 23, 2016 Adjust font size:

New Zealand Prime Minister John Key on Wednesday condemned the terrorist attacks in Brussels, saying New Zealanders are thinking about the people and the government of Belgium.

"We utterly condemn these appalling acts which have killed and wounded so many," Key said in a statement.

"No innocent person should have to worry about such violence when going about their daily lives and New Zealand stands with Belgium in the fight against terrorism," he said.

"Atrocities like this and the recent attacks in Turkey are a stark reminder of why the international community must stand together in the global fight against terrorism."

The blasts, which occurred at the Belgian capital's airport and at the Maalbeek railway station, have killed more than 34 people and injured hundreds. Enditem
