China strongly condemns the latest terrorist attack in Istanbul, Turkey, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said on Monday.

Spokesperson Hua Chunying expressed condolences to the victims at a regular news briefing.

"China opposes all forms of terrorism and hopes all countries will enhance coordination to fight terrorism," she said.

A suicide bombing on Istanbul's main shopping street on March 19 killed five people, including the assailant. Turkey has experienced a string of deadly attacks over the past few months.

Hua confirmed there were no Chinese casualties in the attack.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry and Chinese Embassy in Turkey have released an alert, advising Chinese citizens not to go to Turkey at present, and warning those who are in Turkey to restrict travel and avoid public places, Hua said.
