ISLAMABAD: China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday to attend the sixth round of the Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue between the two countries, Pakistan’s foreign office said in a statement, days after he held talks with India’s top political leadership.
The top Chinese diplomat arrived in India on Monday and met Foreign Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar as well as National Security Adviser Ajit Doval to hold talks regarding the countries’ disputed border in the Himalayan mountains. He later met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well.
Yi’s visit also comes months after a brief but intense military standoff between India and Pakistan in May, during which Islamabad deployed Chinese-made fighter jets and missiles against Delhi. India alleged that Beijing actively supported Pakistan’s military response.
Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar received Yi after he arrived in Islamabad, the foreign office said.
“Mr. Wang Yi is visiting Pakistan to co-chair with DPM/FM the 6th round of Foreign Ministers’ Strategic Dialogue being held on 21 August 2025,” the foreign office said.
