Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and his Kyrgyz counterpart, Erlan Abdyldaev, on Tuesday discussed in a phone conversation the terrorist attack against the Chinese Embassy to Kyrgyzstan and pledged closer cooperation in the fight against terrorism.

Abdyldaev said the Kyrgyz side condemned the suicide attack "in the strongest terms," and that on behalf of the Kyrgyz leaders, he conveyed sympathy to the Chinese embassy and those injured in the attack.

The Kyrgyz side has taken all emergency measures after the attack, and will carry out a thorough investigation and punish those responsible, said Abdyldaev.

He said Kyrgyzstan will do its utmost to ensure the safety of the Chinese citizens and institutions in Kyrgyzstan, and is willing to strengthen cooperation with China in the fight against the "three evil forces" of terrorism, separatism and extremism.

Wang, for his part, also strongly condemned the attack, and asked the Kyrgyz side to immediately find out what really happened, punish those responsible and avoid a reoccurrence of such attacks.

China will deepen anti-terrorism cooperation with Kyrgyzstan to safeguard mutual security interests of the two countries, he added.

The Chinese embassy in Kyrgyzstan was attacked Tuesday morning by a suicide car bomber, with the lone assailant killed and five others wounded.
