Dar arrives in Bishkek to take up Pakistani nationals' concerns after mob violence
2024-05-22
[GEO.TV] Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar on Tuesday arrived in Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek to discuss the "concerns" of Pak students who among other foreign nationals suffered mob attacks by locals last week.

The visit comes as Pakistain has ramped up evacuations of its students from Bishkek after violent mostly peaceful mobs of locals targeted foreign nationals last week, with over 800 pupils returned to the country so far.

At least five Pak students suffered injuries in the attacks triggered by a brawl between Kyrgyz and Egyptian students, prompting mob attacks on hostels of medical universities and private lodgings of international students, including Paks, in the city.

After reaching Bishkek, FM Dar held a detailed meeting with his Kyrgyz counterpart Kulubaev Zheenbek Moldokanovich.
