BEIJING - China's Foreign Ministry has confirmed on Thursday it will do all it can to ensure the safe return of two citizens kidnapped in Pakistan, and promised new measures would be put in place to protect Chinese people and companies positioned in South Asia. Two Chinese language teachers, based in the Pakistani township of Jinnah, Quetta city, in the southwestern province of Baluchistan, were captured by gunmen pretending to be police on Wednesday, according to a report by a Pakistan newspaper, The Dawn, on Thursday. The article stated three Chinese citizens - two women and a man - were intercepted by three people in a white car while leaving a language center and forced them into the vehicle at gunpoint. The report also said the kidnappers were waiting for the individuals in the car, which was parked on the roadside, citing witness accounts and closed-circuit television camera footage.

We will also take further actions to ensure the safety of Chinese individuals and organizations in Pakistan, he said. debossed wristbandwellies and wristbandscustom wristbands no minimumrubber bracelets custom cheapbracelet maker online
