Xi extends condolences to Egyptian president over terrorist attacks

Xinhua, April 10, 2017 Adjust font size:

Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolences to his Egyptian counterpart, Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, on Monday over the terrorist attacks that targeted two churches.

In his message, Xi extended his profound condolences to the innocent victims and sincere sympathies to al-Sisi, families of the victims, and the injured.

China opposes terrorism in all forms and strongly condemns the barbarous attacks, he said.

The Chinese people will stand firmly with the Egyptian people and resolutely support Egypt's efforts in safeguarding national security and stability, as well as the fight against terrorism, he added.

According to local media, Sunday's twin bomb attacks in the Egyptian cities of Tanta and Alexandria killed at least 44 people and injured more than 120 others. Endi
