BEIJING (Sputnik) — Beijing is confident in the success of the upcoming G20 summit in Hangzhou, official spokeswoman of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Hua Chunying said Tuesday, following a car bomb attack at the Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan.
Earlier in the day, at least one person was killed and two more injured in an explosion at the Chinese Embassy in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
"We strongly condemn this attack. We are requesting the details from the Kyrgyz side, and that they would inform us as soon as possible. We are confident in the success of the G20 summit, and we believe that with the support of other parties and efforts the summit will be carried out smoothly," the spokeswoman said, answering a question about whether the attack is thought to have been directed against China.
The 2016 G20 summit of the world’s 20 biggest economies in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou will be held on September 4–5.
