At least 34 people were killed on Tuesday morning in a series of explosions at Brussels airport and a metro station close to the European Union institutions.
The Chinese president noted that terrorism is the common enemy of mankind and a common threat facing the international community, saying China opposes all forms of terrorism and stands ready to safeguard peace and stability of China, Belgium and the whole world.
