Frankfurt: Pakistan has condemned an attack on its consulate in Frankfurt, Germany, which occurred yesterday when a group of extremists breached the security of the diplomatic facility, endangering consular staff.
According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Foreign Office issued a statement today expressing a strong protest to the German government over its failure to uphold the security obligations outlined in the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963. This international treaty mandates the host country to protect the sanctity and security of consular premises.
