This is the first time a foreign tourist has been attacked in the area. Gilgit Baltistan is located in the border area between China and Kashmir and is famous for its natural scenery. It has always been a safer area for Pakistan. However, in recent years, some armed witnesses have witnessed activities in the area. Namjak is a popular peak for climbers in the Himalayas, 8125 meters above sea level, and Gilgit is the only way to climb. Local leader Mehdi held a meeting with local law enforcement agencies on the 23rd to discuss the security situation in the region. Pakistani President Zardari and Prime Minister Sharif condemned the attack on the 23rd. Sharif said that "such cruel and inhuman behavior" cannot be tolerated.

Qu Xing, director of the China Institute of Foreign Studies, told the Global Times on the 23rd that citizens who have plans to go abroad must make decisions on the security situation of destination countries before they travel. If you do not go to areas or countries where the security situation is not good, consider carefully the route, itinerary, date, and accommodation.

Qu Xing said that in the context of foreignization, more and more Chinese citizens travel abroad, conduct business, visit, etc., and personnel exchanges cannot completely eliminate the possibility of accidents. After an accident occurs, it is necessary to contact the law enforcement agencies of the host country in a timely manner to make an alarm and contact the Chinese embassies and consulates abroad. The Chinese Embassy or Consulate will promptly contact the domestic relatives of the parties and their units in accordance with the emergency plan, and will also verify with the institutions of the host country that they are requesting the protection of the property, personal safety and legal rights of Chinese citizens. The embassy and consulate will also release news to the news media.
