China will not withdraw embassy from Somalia, said Chinese ambassador Wei Tianhong after a deadly terror attack hit Chinese embassy last week, according to the official micro blog of China’s national TV network.

The ambassador said that he and other staff members will overcome difficulties and adhere in Somalia to continue promoting bilateral relations.

On the afternoon of July 26, an attacker drove a car rigged with bombs into the gate of the Jazeera Palace Hotel, where the suicide bombing took place, as it housed the embassy of China.

China’s embassy was damaged in the bombing. One member of the embassy’s security staff died from severe injuries and three other staff were described as mildly injured.
