China strongly condemns the bomb attacks that rocked Turkey's largest city of Istanbul Thursday morning, according to Foreign Ministry Spokesman Liu Jianchao.

China believes that terrorism is a common threat to the human society and the international community should strengthen cooperation to jointly crack down on terrorist activities, Liu said when answering questions from the press.

The explosions in Istanbul Thursday incurred great casualties and losses of assets. It was reported that the death toll had risen to 26 by Thursday evening.
