The spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry called the attack "catastrophic" and said that China was "deeply shaken".

Wenbin added that the Taliban have been asked to "spare no effort to search and rescue Chinese citizens, while at the same time it should launch a comprehensive investigation, severely punish the attackers, and seriously strengthening the protection of Chinese citizens and organisations in Afghanistan."
