Islamabad: Everything is not going well in Pakistan and its neighboring country Afghanistan. Now Pakistan said on Thursday (8 December) that they have increased the security of their diplomats in Afghanistan after the assassination attempt on their mission head in Kabul last week.

Significantly, Ubaid-ur-Rehman Nizami, Pakistan's in-charge in Afghanistan, was targeted by unknown gunmen last Friday. The incident took place when he was walking in the embassy premises, but was saved by the security guard posted for his protection. Foreign Office spokeswoman Mumtaz Zahra Baloch told the weekly briefing that Pakistan was in touch with Afghan officials to investigate the gun attack on Nizami. Pakistan has increased the security of its diplomats. We are also in constant touch with the Afghan authorities regarding this. She said I will not go into detail about security-related matters.

Baloch also said that Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari would be visiting Singapore tonight on the second leg of his 3-day East Asia tour. He landed in Bali, Indonesia last evening and will visit Singapore tonight. This morning the External Affairs Minister participated in the 15th Bali Democracy Forum.
